What's the hardest thing you've had to accept?

@TeresaRudolph71 You perhaps have something far better than these illusions.

@SW-User I think perhaps I do. I actually have something real, though it's less than perfect. I've also found out that I'm less than perfect, but I am at least able to work on that. What I have (and what I am) is a work in progress. But that illusion would have gotten me nowhere. So in the end yes, I suppose reality is better, though it takes real work.

@TeresaRudolph71 What shines through to me in the brief exchanges we've had are the qualities that you have (but maybe don't see).
