"That's all I want." Yes. You articulate it all so well. I wouldn't even know what it would look like even if this hit me square in the face. This reminded me of one of my favorite quotes:

"The roots of resilience... are to be found in the sense of being understood by and existing in the mind and heart of a loving, attuned, and self-possessed other."

- Diana Fosha

I write authentically about my journey with PTSD so that others may benefit from my experience. I also write about love and longing.
