37. "I commend your ability to block out the reality." -- You sell it short.
Wed Nov 6, 2024, 04:48 PM
Nov 2024

This is me facing reality and realizing that my life is not over, and that it is up to me to make my life good.

You are the one blocking reality by putting your head in the sand.

The trauma is fresh. It burns me. It depresses me. But life is not over.

>> I plan to focus my energies on my own survival.

As you should. As the flight attendants say, you must put the mask on your own face before trying to save others.

In a few weeks, I think you will feel differently about being in the fight.
