Make things better by making better things.
Banker: “I’m just a very…disappointing man…They keep asking me, “What do you want from this workshop? “What do you want?” I’m not telling them what I want. I want to move back home. I want to hug my wife. Protect my children, protect my daughter. I want to move on. I want to apologize—to everyone. I want to go to the theatre. I want to take clean cups out of the dishwasher, put them in the cupboard at home and the next morning, I want to watch my wife drink from them. And I want to make her feel good. I want to make her оrgasm again. And again. Truly.”
Fleabag: “I just want to cry. All the time.”
— Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Fleabag (Season 1, Episode 4)
No one just wakes up at rock bottom. You get there incrementally. It isn’t until later on we realize that we’re in over our heads. Ernest Hemingway wrote, “How did you go bankrupt? Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”
The good news is the hole you are in is not too deep to climb out of. Every problem has a solution otherwise it would be a situation.
You are not in a situation with no choice, just no easy choices left to make.
