Message: <blockquote data-quote="Autumnal" data-source="post: 9373028" data-attributes="member: 6671663">People don’t live realistic lives inside their thoughts and feelings, and recognizing trust is importsnt. Both our hopes and our fears routinely exceed the possible, and we want what cannot be.(This is “yes, and”.)Part of maturity is learning how to bridge the gap between what’s inside and outside. What steps can we take in the direction we want? What are goals that can be satisfying along the way, short of completion? And like that. Making reality infinitely accommodating won’t happen. Nor will the innately unrealistic part of our inner lives go away. (Fifty thousand years of drug use hasn’t fixed it. It’s not fixable.). So we have to keep rediscovering finite solutions that still feel good.</blockquote>
