The ups and downs suck. Two weekends ago I was alone in a cabin in the woods feeling wonderful…discovering things about myself…at peace and happy. I came home and went to my weekly therapy session and I was on cloud nine. Life was feeling hopeful. And since then…well…ha…sat down with my therapist this past week and raged and cried. She assured me it was normal…lots of layers to healing…and part of healing is uncovering hurts and angers that maybe I didn’t have the strength or capacity to deal with when they happened…and now that I’m healing they are resurfacing. I told her “Great. I’m an onion. I even make myself cry”.
So today, I’m just going to embrace my onion-ness. Stay away from people so I don’t make anyone else cry.
