I see the rest of my life as nothing but a recovery period. I will be recovering until the day I die, I pretty much know that.

I wonder if this is the common experience, whether we realize it or not. A constant state of recovery from all the things that we feel have harmed and hurt us - some things worse than others. An "unlearning" even.

People look at people that have a difficult time almost with scorn, like why can that person not do it right, it is difficult to move past the scorn in peoples eyes or even worst the pity in them.

This hits home - I see both sides of it daily - people who don't know my experience, and those who do.

Scorn is such a great word too.
