I’m in a better place mentally than I have been in the last two years, but I’m still feeling grief. That heaviness makes it hard to get in touch with my libido.

You’re taking care of yourself and maybe even others. Then one small thing gets tossed on the pile you are managing, and it’s just enough to force everything to collapse. Did you really have things covered?

… life isn’t black and white and that’s a blessing. The shades of gray can both help and hurt you, but you will be stronger because of it. I have to believe that because I know I’ve already lived it.
