I resonate with this massively. Becoming post-tragic and being emotionally resilient in a world of broken promises and ruins is the only way to keep your head above water! Thank you for your writing, it's a joy to see others here on the other side of the curtain!
Exactly! When building structures that are resilient to earth tremors and wind stress, they are designed to bend. This was a lesson learned from nature, as trees aren't rigid structures. We should learn to bend rather than break under the stress of changes that are inevitably coming!
I felt this way so many times. I'm still figuring a way to better deal with it all, but it got easier. Maybe that's the secret, and some sort of resilience has emerged?

To clarify, for me "softness" is resilience. Hard things are brittle and shatter under stress ;)
love the framing of softness as resilience :) we gotta be soft and squidgy to be resilient!

I think so, i think we get used to things slowly!! and then suddenly we can deal with them.
