I really enjoyed reading it because it reminded me of the swirling messy heaps of arms and hair I am (and will continue to be).Thanks for sharing this!

Not just the writing, though that is beautiful in and of itself, but the message that you convey that truly speaks to me.<br /><br />"That feeling of complete loss of control when suddenly you try to stop the spinning...The weight of the world was on my shoulders, and I couldn't hold it."<br /><br />This says it all, speaks to exactly where I am now, sharing that same fear, wondering if I will crumble beneath the weight.<br /><br />I think the only thing maybe we can do is stop spinning, despite that fear. It'll be shaky ground for awhile, but then you always regain your footing, the dizziness subsides, and you figure out how to move again...more slowly, maybe, but still moving.<br /><br />A wonderful post, Elisa!

"That feeling of complete loss of control when suddenly you try to stop the spinning…The weight of the world was on my shoulders, and I couldn't hold it."

This says it all, speaks to exactly where I am now, sharing that same fear, wondering if I will crumble beneath the weight.

I think the only thing maybe we can do is stop spinning, despite that fear. It'll be shaky ground for awhile, but then you always regain your footing, the dizziness subsides, and you figure out how to move again…more slowly, maybe, but still moving.

A wonderful post, Elisa! Thanks for sharing this and best to you.
