How did it all get so heavy?
I used to stand up so tall
There’s only so much I can carry
Before I fall
~ Excerpt from “Heavy”, by Delta Goodrem
Stress is beyond a lack of coping resource,
it is also about how long we are immersed in this lack.
People talk about having a cup half full or empty,
when the matter is about holding on to the cup.
Sometimes the best closure is to let it go
and set ourselves free.
