| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 01/20/08 at 05:27 PM Alisa, there is such a tragic beauty in the way you express the emotional see-saw. Tragic in the fact that it's happening. Beautiful by the fact that you finally understand the games being played and your refusal (even still wanting to believe that things could be different) to play along. This kind of wisdom always hurts. Here's to gentle healing in the passage of time.
