One of the sentences in your post reminded of the quote that I think is attributed to Blaise Pascal - "You would not seek me if you had not found me". I often find myself reaching out to this quote for some amusement and reassurance in times when existence can be slightly overwhelming.
First of all, Thank you for reading this post...I know it's a long one! And yes the quote you mentioned is beautiful indeed. Hearing it for the first time but it's deeply profound. Secondly, Thank you for subscribing! Gonna go and check out your Substack in depth now, just had a look and it looks interesting!
This was such a wonderful read. I think for most of my life, I didn't know who I was. I stuck to the identity of "hopeful mom" mom, and marine wife. And then all of those were shattered and I was left trying to pick up the pieces.
These tips and questions would have been so helpful years ago and I know they will help someone else out there!
Thank you for your saying this...makes me feel heard too! I know you're on a beautiful journey now after all you went trough and you'll only get better....much love to you!
Excellent read! It seems we all define who we are by the experiences we put effort in. Even the ones that take no effort, as long as we are recognized for doing them. It is our hope that one of these “skills” provides us with enjoyment within. Thank you for letting all of us share in your journey!
