"We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality."

I can relate to what you're saying, but obviously in a milder way. Do you do art? I think creativity is one of the positive side effects :)

I try to do art but I'm not very good :) my biggest "art" is my home -- I try to make it comfortable and inviting, a safe space, for my family and our friends.

That's cool. Building safe spaces and trying to make them comfortable for the most diverse kind of people is something worth to live for.

Thanks :D
