Some things won’t budge till we sit with them. They’ll keep calling and aching till we give up our running away from feeling as shitty as we really feel.
No amount of trying to turn away will work. And no amount of talking to someone about it will make it better. Time to turn in. Curl up on the couch, fetal position and let whatever’s here be here.
All the effort of turning away once halted will turn into exhaustion. Exhaustion is good. It means you’ve stopped running.
