But then life took a totally unexpected, never-saw-that-coming kind of turn. And I don't trust anything anymore. And I wasn't a very trusting person to begin with. Ironically, except my marriage. My blog is PWP, but email me if you want the password. And I like what JustLinda said- I may have to steal that for the tagline of my blog. :) I am in the midst of a divorce right now and I TOTALLY thought that after everything we’d been through, there was nothing that could ever break us apart.

Except maybe that we're suffering. Oh, and we both went to the same college. And a few other things. Like sarcasm, perhaps? I don't know what to say to you, Jenn, other than I want to help, if you'll let me. I want to support you, create with you. I want to find that inner passion that drives the car while you're digging in the glove box for the map. Let me in; trust me. I know some things that might help. We can help each other, I know it. I'm pushing because I need to; I'm impatient when there's suffering. I'm reaching out to you, Jenn. Grab my hand. Let's talk. We have nothing in common. Except maybe that we’re suffering.

When I feel especially empty, I look around for someone I can help and that fills me up. A phone call to a friend who is having an equally crappy time of it, an hour of my time spent volunteering, some little gesture that takes me out of my own misery for a short while - the act may have its origin as a means of escaping from myself, but it has the <i>effect</i> of helping someone else.

You experienced sadness like you never had before. You’ve mentioned before that you used to know and now you don’t. I have felt the same way since my divorce, but I also see that I know so much more of the world, of myself. Maybe you have learned many things and are thus able to intuit more things, maybe one of those things is that we can’t ever really know. I personally comfort myself against that uncertainty by repeating two things (that essentially offer the same advice): “Enjoy the moment” and “One day at a time”. It is hard but it works, allows me to let go of lots of things I can’t control. It doesn’t take the sadness away, but it prevents it from destroying me.

As for the voice, I hate that voice. I hate the uncertainty and the eroded confidence it brings. It's not enough that you're dealing with your illness that you have this on top of that too? I'm with Heather though. I'm not sure the voice is your intuition. I think it's using intuition as a cloak so you don't throw her out on the porch in a bathrobe and her clothes wadded up in her arms.

Take control just like you do with your writing. You have a gift and with this gift you will go higher than you can ever imagine. Just keep dreaming till they start coming true.
