I am having a shit day. I have to say I don't have many of them, but this one is shit.
My soul knows itself pretty good by this point. It knows what I can handle, how much, and when. Somewhere inside I have a metered valve for emotional turmoil, an internal IV that gives me a drip at a time so my equilibrium isn't disrupted. On occassion it backs up and next thing you know I get a full on flush of straight pure pain, too hard and too fast to rationalize away or process down to an inoccuous thought on some cosmic truth.
I flew into work today, a remote northern camp, still having a drip at a time of my sister's death trickle in. Upon arrival I found a note that was highly critical of not only my work, but some personal things as well. Anger, humiliation and grief are my unholy triad. I have a hell of a time processing any of them. They broke the valve, all hit at once and the pressure inside right now is excruciating. I want the seams to burst. I want to evaporate.
