When you’re feeling stuck in a place, it is so difficult to feel like you can move. It truly is like a quicksand that makes it near impossible to gain any momentum, but if you stand still you’re slowly sinking downward, being pulled in by what surrounds you. If I’m being honest, I’ve relied heavily on my waning mental reserves this past year and a half while being at home, living with a parent, as an adult. It’s been difficult, and I can feel myself retreating at times, and really wallowing in the isolation.
