Real Life has Plot Twists — 3 Comments

  1. I am so sorry you had to endure that gut-wrenching midpoint transition. I like that term. Yeah, that is not a good feeling. I was horrified the first time the blinders came off or the scales fell from my eyes and I was suddenly facing someone I no longer knew. I thought we were friends. I would have done anything for them. I was stunned to realize it was all one-sided. I will never forget that feeling. The very light in the room changed and I was now seeing clearly. Who was this person that had used me so abominably?

    The second time it happened, I realized I couldn’t breathe because they actually sucked the air out of the room. The passive-aggressive behavior was so subtle that it hit me one day when I nearly had a panic attack. I finally realized the relationship was toxic. I walked away. I had to. They still reach out occasionally and I acknowledge the text but it will never be the same.

    I enjoy those story tropes you mentioned where the group or team comes together for the greater good. Or, it is Elizabeth and Darcy against a foe. There is nothing like teamwork to solve problems. Hang in there. God doesn’t give us more than we can handle because He is there with us as we grow and learn. He’s cheering us on telling us we can do it; we can get through it. Blessings.

  2. J.W. Garrett said it all far better than I can.
    I’m sorry you’ve had that type of plot twist. =\ ((((((((HUGS))))))))
    You and your team will pull together and make it through this!

  3. Maria Grace, just sending good thoughts as you navigate this transition. You are a gifted storyteller, and I admire your ability to call on the power of narrative to provide perspective in challenging times. You’ve certainly inspired me to reassess a struggle of my own — to see it not as an obstacle or “the end” of something but instead as that midpoint transition, a doorway into a new and important next chapter.

    All the best to you!
