So I'm supposed to expect these like high highs and then these super low lows.

That's the real problem.

My association with love.

If I just slapped the label on it, I'd miss all the important stuff, all the context.

Bingo.

Totally.

Completely.

And the other part is the curiosity continues on.

I mean, it's kind of ever changing the way that we feel, the things that we want, change shape, change form.

So there's a lot there.

And then capacity.

We're not really good at sitting in discomfort.

We're pretty good at finding every possible way to get out of it, around it, under it, over it, all of the things.

And...

We typically prefer what's familiar over what's unfamiliar.

So if we're used to our certain few emotions, we're used to a good bit of disappointment, good bit of sadness, a little bit of anxiety, and then a smidge of joy, we're going to probably stay within that ratio unless we intentionally decide to expand the capacity there.

Where it's like, no, no, no, no.

I'm not going to stay in the disappointment.

I'm going to teach myself how to move through it.

I'm going to support myself in whatever I need to do to move through this rather than just staying in it and drowning in it.
