Yes. There was a post that was here with a similar title.
While I rarely take posts down, that one felt too close to my bone. Perhaps it is because I am getting older, or perhaps it is because that inevitable ending belongs to another person as much as it belongs to me.
Within all of my writing here I have always tried to assert that this is my version of the story. I am never blameless.
Acceptance of the way things are is a difficult concept. My nature is not to accept anything, but to push forward, onward. It is that nature which has fueled my survival.
Being in this emotional place, this in between - Not happy and not entirely unhappy - is like being on a raft in a lake of no consequence. I neither win nor lose. I simply am.
Yet there remains some small voice that emerges saying "There is more. There is different than this." It is that voice which I instinctively heed. Other times, such as now, I stifle it. The discontent it breeds does not serve me well.
I must learn to sit on my raft and be content for now. My stasis is not unhealthy to the position which benefits the majority of my family.
I must accept that.
