Bet you $5 I can pull off quoting moody sad lyrics

Aug 12, 2022

I deflect with humor. It's my go-to move.

I tried to shift my perspective to a happier more optimistic mindset this morning but after some reflection, I am not sure I should. I think today will be a day to sit with my heavy heart.

I don't know how long this sadness has decided to settle in for but some things you just have to go through to get through. For now, I am going to withdraw a bit from everyone, not an easy comforting safe presence, and take my time working through this. The loss of some dreams stings more than others.

In the before times when going through heavy moments, I would withdraw myself to the people I thought of as my inner circle. That landscape has changed so drastically since I developed Long Covid and became more disabled than I was previously. I don't even know who now my heart would consider a safe place to find solace near.

I keep reminding myself "It won't rain all the time" which is just Goth for "This too shall pass"

I told you I deflect with humor but I think I nailed it. (P.S. if you didn't clock the lyrics you are too young for me.)

Enjoy this post?
