Sometimes someone else can put into words what you are feeling...at least to an extent...better than you can. And at those rare times you are lucky enough to come across their wisdom, you reach a certain type of enlightenment. I'm not saying that the clouds part and everything is sunshine and rainbows. Everything still may suck. But at least you understand it. You can come to terms with the sucky-ness. So I am going to use someone else's words today. Cause mine just don't seem to come out right.
"I've lived so much of my life according to the edicts of fear. It kept me from going to France (fear of losing Dan). It kept me in the marriage (fear of being alone). It kept me from saying what I thought at work or in social situations (fear of being ostracized). It kept me from upsetting the steady equilibrium of my little life. And now...
Now I knew everything was about to be upended. That was the worst sort of fear - the dread of loss..."
Douglas Kennedy State of the Union
It is a fear you can do nothing about because it is a simple statement of fact.
