@MsAnkhQueen Yes! “We all wear the mask but how long will it last?” (c) The Fugees

It’s difficult to put yourself out there and be open: “this is what I’m dealing with. I’ve made some progress there, but I’m stumbling here.” Yet if more of us did it, the more we’d understand that we’re all just figuring this thing out, no matter how authoritatively we may speak on certain matters.

Acknowledgement is the first step to change. Congratulations.

You know people walk around like they are not going through anything and their relationships are perfectly fine and normal and healthy and they are a mess. This was honest and I love it. I had a conversation similar to this a little while ago that went a little deeper. Its impossible to love a broken person because of the dysfunction it gets in the way and clouds judgement and love. And this very article my partner and I were just going through this and experienced a major break through in our relationship. And its very warming to read someone else experiencing the same thing.

Thank you for reading, Travis. I definitely agree that this is pretty common. The brokeness is so pervasive even mangled concepts of love are accepted and flourishing. We need to heal.

Very nice post, thanks for sharing these thoughts out loud. So many of us are going through this. Maybe all of us in one way or another.
