[...] Curiosity is a frighteningly insightful dude. Most of the time he doesn't even have to say anything at all, although he does have this one eyebrow that ventures up ever so slightly when he doesn't quite buy something. But his eyes are always kind and oftentimes they twinkle. And, as you probably know, he's my favorite superhero for the hard stuff. [...]

I love the idea of our helper traits being super heroes! I’m gonna have to check and see what super heroes might be hanging out around me.

@kelly !! bigendered superhero! hadn’t thought of it that way, but oh my, you made me laugh! And yes too on being able to write about the hard stuff means I can then write about the good stuff. They seem very much related.

I’m so happy you all could relate to the story-telling thing And laugh with me. Because yes, the hard stuff does also bring me to laughter. Eventually pretty much always.

What you are describing is depression and anxiety, and it is the anxiety that first brings on the panic and then it all whirls like a vortex into what is depression. I know about this quite well. Cognitive behavioral therapy and medication can help change this picture in your mind and help you to see what IT really is, and to see the REAL you, the one who deserves love and respect and tenderness, the one that God loves infinitely “no matter what”. You write about what I know so well. I might add that a good “extra” to the CBT and medication is a good massage done about 2x a month. Helps ease the pain out of the body. And depression causes the whole body to be in so much pain. And makes it sleepless and miserable. Of course, I don’t know if you have depression, I just know you have written a great description of what it is like for those of us who live with it. I no longer “always have a hard time”. I’m not cured, but I have learned what I need to do and what it is. But you put it into words so beautifully, I can feel your pain myself.

What an amazing image! It reminds us how those oof stories can distort history. Perhaps we can learn to look at them again through fresh eyes.

I love thinking of curiosity as a superhero! Thank you for reminding me that when I’m being curious, something bigger than me (it) is in play – that always helps.

Heidi, Heidi…What a delight you are! You made me laugh a lot. I totally get you and this story business and the replaying. Right now I’m replaying a story of an injury inflicted on my by my best friend from high school and college because the wound that never healed has been ripped opened by so-called adult friends who unknowingly to them inflicted fresh wounds. How old am I? Way, way past college and high school by decades. But the stories play on (I won’t bore you with the plot). I keep trying to shut down the screen. But they seem to have a mind of their own. Thank you for letting me know that there is someone else in the same theater.
