They can't hear you properly anyway, and even if they could, the bubble has limits.<br /><br />For a while at least. Eventually the bubble starts to degrade and something sneaks in - a flavour or a sound perhaps. And so to return begins. Perhaps slowly or perhaps not. It doesn't matter.<br /><br />You are loved. You are safe. You are wanted. <br /><br />And yes, your life is awesome and full of miracles just waiting for you to discover them.

I do know that even when life is objectively, rationally good, there is pain that contradictorily seeps through-it is the great juxtaposition of life.<br /><br />Feel what you have to feel, and then find relief, if you can, in whatever gives you relief.Annjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315067950686666022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972647577919000054.post-434806223353020762010-09-01T11:27:49.405-07:002010-09-01T11:27:49.405-07:00I went through PPD this past year and I had to sto...I went through PPD this past year and I had to stop reading the hap-hap-happy blogs.

Though our pain can have different causes and our depression different catalysts, nobody wants to be told to take a f*ing boat ride to cheer up. <br /><br />How wonderful that through the pain, you're still realizing the beauty of having a loving family & a supportive employer. <br /><br />Praying for your quick journey through this canyon of hell that is depression.

If I get to the point where I can't read, I'll know I'm truly screwed. <br /><br />Ms. Wakoski's book (which inclues the title poem) is titled "Dancing on the Grave of a Son of a Bitch". It's one of my favorite poetry finds ever. xoxoMarionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786883679294446945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-972647577919000054.post-68813066211246720162010-08-31T03:17:44.098-07:002010-08-31T03:17:44.098-07:00This is a wonderful post!
