The mastering, however, usually comes after a certain amount of wallowing I think, at least it does for me. Well maybe it’s not wallowing per se, but at least I have to spend time in the well of sorrows until I can muster the courage and stamina to master the pain. And for chronic sufferers such as I, I don’t think we really ever master it as much as we eventually learn how to cope with it again and again and again.

However, I prefer to refer to we weird folk as unique as opposed to weird, wouldn’t you agree? 🙂
