I didn’t want to learn this lesson. I truly did not and fought it hard. Busy with so many other things, I had zero interest in inadvertently revisiting the imperative energy of mess in my life. I had worked so hard at containment. But here we were anyway. Of course, looking back I’m hit with all of these ohhhhh moments that make it all worth it. But in the middle of it, it was all so very disappointingly out of control.
