    I've spent so long chasing nostalgia and wanting to relive the past that it became a curse. When I realized that it's impossible to reattaine the happiness of the past, it made me wish I could just let go and forget this compulsion towards the past, a fresh start like this story.

    Im seriously crying now. I feel like so much of what I want is outside of my control. The dispair, how tight I hold on to existence, and just trying to balance it all. I think in a way my own happiness is in a fragile state. I can't help this. Seeing how this character wanted so desperately to end her suffering. The level of despair matches. Id love to be about to wipe the slate clean and people who care show up to help guide me. Just some clarity beyond the pain would help. I'd never attempt this my kids mean everything to me. I think it's best if I take the high road. I'll remember this compassion if they need it.

    My partner of 18 years is in residential treatment for alcoholism and our relationship is likely ending because of what has happened over the past few years….really challenging time to say the least, and have a bunch of memories I wish I couldn’t remember so well. Still though, like in the video, I find contentment and purpose in the small things. My fav music that hits deep, poking around my garden to marvel at nature, a mindful walk around my neighborhood, and sharing a meal with friends. Realizing that at least for me, right now, my purpose is to connect. With all those things/people I mentioned and the world around me. Videos like this are a great reminder and now I want a tapestry for a visual :)

      this video story at the end says
      "you are not what has happened" so I am not what I lived?
      "you are not what you've done" so I am not my decisions?
      "you are not how you've seen things" so I am not my perspective?
      all those things we do in the past are reflected in our facial structure our bodies
      we cant escape the past its what made us
      you're not going to undo what happened in the mind in its past by ignoring it
