Over The Bump

[greenstorm]

I'm over the emotional bump now, and everything is once again in perspective. After all, nothing has actually changed. It's amazing how strong my first reactions are, which then dissipate into pretty much nothing.

The decision between Chris and I to be primaries and all the rest was done in full knowledge, after all.

And look, it's sunny out.

Jeh. Sometimes I wonder about myself, emotionally. Cause... it was a really big deal, and I knew from experience that it wouldn't be for long, and lo! It really isn't. :/ I'm so reactive.

Dunno if that's necessarily reactive. I find I'm the same way, and so are many people I know who've reached that point where you have a good idea of your internal emotional balance and the corresponding responses to events. In my experience knowing that something is a Big Deal, and simultaneously knowing that It Will Be Over doesn't change anything about the necessity of letting the Big Deal happen first. We're chronological creatures after all -- gotta let the thing to cope with happen forst before you can actually do any coping. :)
