The buildup of a big event can feel overwhelming. It doesn't even have to be an anniversary of someone's passing, but could be positive, too. The buildup takes energy to get there, planning, possible anxiety, excitement, it varies with each situation. Each circumstance requires energy and investment for the experience.
The letdown after that event leaves you exhausted. Since Archer's halo day I've had limited energy because the anxiety, situational strain, and melancholy mixed together to create a perfect storm. I've avoided writing, choosing to spend my energy elsewhere. I've needed more escapes, more rest, more down time. During the holidays those times can be difficult to find.
This entry is simple, a link to a song I've been singing to Archer in my heart as I listen to it. It is Tracy Chapman’s The Promise.
