bright spots.

one good thing about stress is my huge drive to work out. i think it is rooted in a desire to control something, to be the only one responsible for the outcome.

also it has improved my creativity. i am writing again, albiet awkward first drafts of short stories. but i remember ann lamot always said that writers need to write shitty drafts before they get to the gold. the bad is part of the process.

that seems to apply to life, too.

The bad is definitely part of the process, as painful as it is. When you eventually turn the bad writing into good writing, it will feel very good indeed. Hope the stress lightens up soon.
