I agree with Melanie.

I am reading but not commenting because I will make it about me. You often put in words my own journey.

I just want you to know that I am still reading. I’m not very good at commenting on blogs because I make it all about me. I’m here though; in a really weird way I feel like I’m protecting you when I read what you write. You should write more. A lot more.

I don’t think you ever lose it. I haven’t. Some places I feel like I am King of the World, other places I feel like a complete idiot. The key, I think, is to be okay with not being able to shine in every situation. I really think that’s just impossible.

Robert would want you to be YOU. Sally down the street might lose her husband and not be able to get out of bed for months. Some people are wallowers, some people are up-with-the-bootstraps. All you can do is be yourself. As long as you aren’t pushing your emotions down to the detrement of your mental health, go with what feels right.

I doubt there is anyone who feels like they fit. I know I’ve never met anyone who has. I think the closest was my great-grandmother, she fit perfectly in her world, it was when she left it she didn’t fit.

I feel like that every.single.day. Mostly because you’re so much cooler than I am.

I’ve never been anyone’s little sister, but this is exactly how I feel, ALL OF THE TIME. I’ve missed your voice and your words in my life, these last twelve years, and I didn’t even know it until this morning.

I hope that it is ok to “blog back atcha.”

There have been times when I have lost the art of feeling settled. No matter where I was, I felt like I needed to be Somewhere Else. I never could figure out exactly, precisely, where Somewhere Else could be found. I desperately searched for for it, felt a constant yearning to be embraced by it, and anxiously awaited touching it.

I have never found Somewhere Else. It never showed up on my maps and the directions I had were too vague to be followed.

Driving is the perfect way to pass the time while looking for Somewhere Else. The middle distance stare and the constant stimulation of your logical and sensory brain allow your guarded self to almost conjure Somewhere Else.

It appears that Somewhere Else is so simultaneously enticing and frightening that you protectively shift to second person narrative when you describe getting close to it.

Will we shift to the third person if we ever get there? Will that shift signify that we found it? Or will the shift to third person prove that we can never find Somewhere Else?

I relate to being unmotivated to speak to people. Your “voice” will return at some point. I’m finding mine again and I thought it was gone forever this time.

Don’t stress about what you should be doing, just do what feels right, if anything does. If it feels right to do nothing and breathe in the scent of Trey right now, then that’s what you do. Work, emails,and the daily grind will wait.
