"The stupidest, trivialist little things can send your mind reeling. And what began as a good day or at least a nice day is all of a sudden spiraling out of your control. Very dark. The hounds of depression, rumination, anxiety, or memories hunting you down until you spend every waking moment running from them. And the worst of it is, the farther you run, the farther you get from reality and the people who need you and who love you."

(^Me this weekend. Thank you for this piece... I never tire of this genre from you.)

“Maybe surviving and enduring is flourishing.” You wrote that a while back and those words have been helpful in processing the hard days when endurance was all that I could manage.
