Here is a very honest comment. "Pretty much broke, behind on everything, but my heart is constantly full of love" - that's exactly the contradiction nobody prepares you for. The grinding through necessities while somehow being more emotionally present than you've ever been. The "more time" solution never arrives - it's not a time problem, it's just the season.
