Words of wisdom, as per norm. I think, after months and months, that I finally get this.
...
I mentioned previously that I hit bottom last week, that I cannot go any lower. That realization led me to drop the rope, completely detach, and go completely dark.
Honestly, I wish it didn't take finding the bottom to move forward. I do agree that this is often the case. Otherwise, the deeper the water, the longer we seem to be able to manage the treading and stay stuck.
I'm only grateful that I was already in the shallow end of the pool. My regret is that the bottom of the shallow end for me was full of sharp twigs and detritus.
I think that was my incentive to get out of the pool quick, too...
I also don't think that exiting the pool is necessarily the answer for everyone. In most cases, even when we find ourselves here at a really low point, it could just be a life buoy that is required.
I'm glad to see you are in a good place for yourself. It sure feels better than the alternative, doesn't it?
