I don't know, and that's a problem. I can't sleep, can't relax because of the anger in me, but it's an anger bigger than me, bigger than my personal stake in anything, and I don't know what to do with it.
I have a bat. Let's rock and roll, all pinata-style. ;)
(edited to add that of course hitting is wrong, wrong, almost always wrong, wrong, and I'm not actually threatening anyone here)
Also ETA: I considered, briefly, the idea of throwing all of the wedding dishes against a brick wall just for the sake of catharsis, but I actually quite like those dishes and my weird brand of low level animism makes me really sad to destroy useful things. So, I'm going to start having people over after I get moved so I can serve food to better, more special, more significant people off of those plates and turn them into a representation of something other than what they've been. Likewise a lot of other stuff and ideas... I'm trying to find what good there is to salvage.
Totally different situation, I know, but if there's anything you can bend to your use in there, please feel free.
Religious pilgrimage? It was the medieval cure for overwhelming sadness.
I only sort of jest, but maybe a journey to or about something important to you might help, some thing that's about the travel as much as the arriving? I'm inarticulate, but it seems like maybe there's something there.
