RE: The Switch

Reading this gave me goosebumps 🥺😢. The switch -how you described it- is something I deeply understand, though I've never been able to put it into words so clearly. That moment with Lily.... it broke my heart a little but also made me admire your strength. The ability to set your own pain aside to be the calm in someone else's storm is something not many can do. It's beautiful, and heavy
Also, I smiled at the end -your dream for a forest sanctuary for rescued animal feels like a gentle rebellion against all the cruelty you've witnessed
I hope you get that land someday. And the pig 🐖. And the cow 🐄 . They'd be lucky to have you

It's not strength in that moment. If it was strength, I wouldn't need the switch. I'd be able to manage myself with the emotions. But that's a goal for another decade. It was interesting to get to realize that. I had gotten quite comfortable with myself, but this kind of insights show that there's still room to improve.
That's a nice way to put it. It somehow is just that.
