Think of your life in terms of a stereo equalizer. If you were to label each bar of the equalizer as different parts of your life and look at it before D entered your life it would look fairly even with just a few 'bass' blips here and there. Now though, facing the possibility of D, the bar labeled 'emotions' is booming like a car with major subwoofers and the distribution to the other areas of your life is suffering for it. You just have to take some time to get your bass back under control!
I don't know if I explained that very well, but I'm hoping you get the drift.
mishka, I liked it! Resonated with me!
