Ohhhhhh! You speak to my core Maddie. “But sitting down to create a profit and loss statement from the ashes of my five-year plan, I stumble across a roadblock. If the details of a loss can be tagged as “negative” or “positive,” what do I do with the bittersweet moments?” Those bittersweet moments intrigue me most - how can pain and beauty, grief and joy coexist? I wonder if it is in the intersection of these opposites that unconditional love is born.

so beautifully written, I can feel you working your way through all of these emotions in a way that feels pretty familiar to me. Lately I've appreciated being able to look back at past traumas with more objectivity. Though I haven't quite been able to suss out if it's a matter of age or time/distance way. maybe both? It's pretty interesting!
