How do we expand in an ever anxious world? We’re all feeling the anxiety of the world, it’s impossible not to. And if, like me, your inner world, your immediate world has provided the greatest worry to you lately, you’re carrying the guilt of not giving all the big stuff a bit more thought. But we are only human, and we can only do so much.

"I've uncovered the frayed edges of deeper things, so now, I know where to tug. " Was especially vivid to me somehow. Just the knowing where to tug. Not having to, no rush, just knowing that there's something there. It's hope, fear, anticipation. It's the moment before realisation. Just sang to me somehow! I don't know if that makes sense :) also, I really like your writing, it *sounds* like you.
I really get this. I used to harden myself in preparation for winter too. Used to find it unbearable, and it's still horrible but it's better than it was.
