Good advice, if somewhat cliché. <br /><br />Don't take the "strong" part of my encouragement too much to heart. When you're facing the type of struggles you've hinted at, in this piece and prior, I think deep humility and acceptance that we don't always have the answers or the "strength" to soldier on is actually a smarter admission. Don't be afraid to reach out to the professionals when the typical signals that indicate we're out of balance start to pop up. There's no shame in seeking counsel when it comes to the emotional struggles that so many deal with today. <br /><br />From my personal story: I keep a handful of phone and contact numbers on my desk, in clear sight, for the next time that I'm "not strong enough." Only after years of trying to come to terms with why I had anxiety, hating the symptoms, childishly raging at the general unfairness of my condition, I finally humbled myself to the point that I sought out help.<br /><br />That humility was what eventually allowed myself to heal. Without that breakthrough, I would have just been surviving and not living. <br /><br />Good luck, Marie.Superfun Happy Slidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04941978459079005249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273961452468166691.post-34689064107118584382015-07-03T19:20:27.370-04:002015-07-03T19:20:27.370-04:00You both are always in my thoughts too and am tryi...You both are always in my thoughts too and am trying to stay focused on the light at the end of the tunnel; I think I maybe more involved in the Asian art scene than I was expecting; shall see where the path leads.
