That turning negatives into positives really work? I, wholly, do believe in the idea of learning from regrets, loss, grief, hurt but turning them into something else is shallow to me. They can become things you heal from. I won't ever look back at how my father died, and only see the positive? I can find some, in reflection - but the actual moment will *always* be marked in a quiet cry.

@thewindupbirdchronicles You must be a seasoned truth seeker? I’m sorry for your loss but you’re clearly made the best of it you can while remaining honest to yourself.
I’ve settled into it too. I can see how my life changed by losing my parents so young and I make the best of it. But I’ll never be able to see it as a positive.
Sometimes I feel like everything is kinda neutral, it’s our dependency on it that tips the scales and causes imbalance.

@AlchemyFox All I know is I want to be true. I want to be kind. I want to be compassionate. If at any moment I deny my own feelings, I deny the chance, I feel, of hearing another's. Empathy comes with a lot of hard lessons.
