But I can't say the past doesn't interfere when I'd rather it didn't. But I seem to have very little choice in that matter. The only choice I have is my interpretation, response and thoughts about it. It does use up a lot of energy (spoon theory) though, and I can't say it's painless or not fear-inducing. But everything takes skills or tools, practise and even support, I suppose.Good luck to you [USER=46894]@grit[/USER] . I don't think having a sense of courage or peacefulness or strength or gratitude need be apologized for. If it's simply denial it won't last forever, but if it's healing or growth it will. And a lot of that will be helped along by your choices. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🤗" title="Hugging face    :hugging:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f917.png" data-shortname=":hugging:" /></blockquote>
