Dear Ashlyn, I did not know about this issue - thank you for educating me. I feel your heart breaking and reforming throughout the entirety of your piece. In chemistry, this transition to and fro would be referred to as a dynamic equilibrium. Reactions occur, but in a closed system the ratio of products and reactants stays the same - broken to unbroken - as you try to achieve acceptance. Nothing changes, unless the system changes.

I hope the system changes.

I feel for your suffering and hold a place in my heart for you today.
