Re: In Person: Sharon C/Steve R - tub things
[She knew it wasn't easy. She struggled with it all the time. On some level maybe they all did, she'd seen it one way or another in all of her colleagues and she could safely say all of her friends.]
It's going to get easier Steve, all those holes that aren't filled up because of everything you've been through, and the years you missed. No one, least of all me, would begrudge you feeling the way you do. But it will get better. All that empty is going to get filled up with new things, not to replace, but maybe to soothe a little. Our lives are hard. But this is going to get easier. And as it does its going to make the here and now a whole lot less overwhelming.
So you've still got a fight ahead of you, which I know is not what you signed up for when you saved the world the first time. But its what you've got, I know its a raw deal, but maybe there are some second chances available too. And, maybe most importantly, some new chances. You don't need me to tell you about pros and cons and looking on the bright side. That shit is easier said than done. But there's some truth to it.
