I guess I feel more inner turmoil than the myth of sleeping beauty. I wish I could just sleep through the craziness and wake up knowing that the end of the misery was in sight.
Sometimes I can be a person, sometimes I feel like I'm marked. Different. Damaged. Ill. Pretending.
I have a prince. He is basically a CBT therapist wrapped around a frustrated husband wrapped around an optimist wrapped around someone who has always been able to solve inter- and intrapersonal conflicts.
I have to learn how to accept his caring with more compassion. He hurts when I hurt. There is no such thing as a magic prince. Do you know any? They might be in high demand...
