'A wheel sticks and I am spinning in circles or grinding to a stop.' Perfect for obsessive thinking, a never-ending circle then when it does stop it's hard and you fall from exhaustion into a deep depression. I love it. Thanks for sharing.

I don't know why love is not enough maybe it's the unconditional love we crave that is so hard to find. I'm always here to for you.

Used to not care what other people thought - which is weird since I lost that ability as as I gained confidence in myself. It's a contradiction. I never realized how lucky I was before I hit my 30s. I thought my 20s were difficult but back then my family was in tact, I had a great social life, money to burn, and I didn't have a broken heart from loving a man who cannot love me back. How is it we allow ourselves to be surrounded by love but it's still not enough? I feel the same way all the time… mostly in the last few years.

Forgive the person and leave them behind your burning excess energy you can't afford on this!
