OWN THAT STRENGTH, MK!! One of the hardest things I've ever done is to choose in those darkest rock-bottom cold floor moments to believe life is has more for me, despite all the facts. To choose to believe life longs to bring me light. That IS the strength we all have access to, deep down. Thank you, MK, for offering that hope. Hope to keep showing up to the life we want, even when it feels unbearably achy. Damn this is good.
I think that person who thought you were saying you can only be happy when someone loves you didn't really understand your essay. But I'm glad that you gave it some thought and reacted with kindness. Good for you. I don't understand why people feel the need to react with criticism, either. Is this a function of our times when social media has authenticated everyone's "right to an opinion" no matter who gets hurt in the process? Just sayin'....
It's so great to see you enjoying happiness, again! Best wishes!

Dammit - all this constant blooming is leaving pollen everywhere.
Proud of you
Unless you are 73 and lost your husband of 23 years.
No healing for me..only grief...💔
Grateful for your insight and wisdom through your life’s journey. Your writing is thoughtful and beautifully written. Onward MK!
