I remember a time when I felt stuck and the only possible solution was to run away and start over somewhere else. My perception was that I was hurting people that I cared about by simply existing and I wanted to escape. I wasn't going to tell anyone. I was going to load up a trailer and leave. That was my solution... for lots of people the only possible escape is much darker. 

I'm glad that I stayed. I'm glad that you are staying. There is so much to learn, even though the lessons are oftentimes very painful. I saw a post on Instagram by Jordan B. Peterson that said "Life can be meaningful enough to justify its suffering." I believe that. Yes, there is pain. Yes, there is hurt. But there's also joy and love and light. We create that together.
