Too much of my life in sadness. Living my life in fear of having sadness, running from one sadness to the next. There is this sadness that burns through me and doesn’t leave. I felt it this morning. I have had such rejection as cannot be measured it is so vast and yet so basic. I cringe from this memory. The rejection and the sadness that followed. The sadness that always followed.
