I am learning a lot in school, and it is helping me understand some of my traumatic life better, which hopefully will help me heal. That is, of course, provided I am allowed to heal from the neck surgery I had over 2 years ago. Ongoing stress has resulted in chronic inflammation and the destruction of my immune system.

I know many of you, like me, have noticed how difficult it has become to communicate with others on topics on which there is a difference of opinion. There really is no need for this! No two people are required to share the same opinion on all topics in order to live in harmony. Facts are set in stone; opinions are not.

A dear friend of ours, of which we have very few left anymore due to self-imposed social isolation as a result of depression and stress overload over this whole landlord situation, recently told me, more than once, that I need to start writing out my feelings. We occasionally see some people out and about that we would like to spend more time with, but that's beside the point.
