What's that line from TS Eliot? To arrive at the place where you started, but to know it for the first time. I'm able to write about a breakup from a different place. Same brokenness. Same rock-bottom. But a little more informed, now I'm older. Thank God for growing up.

They're different kinds of challenges depending upon what phase of life I'm in.

I want to walk through life.

My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.

We're all ants. I'm a glittery little ant.
