Survival skill....that's been a topic I've been exploring within myself for the last year or so. I'm still working on understanding it all, but this is where I am with it so far....

We all employ survival skills of some kind on a daily basis. And we use those particular skills for as long as there is a payoff and they work. Then the day comes when what used to work for us doesn't apply anymore, and acutally now hinders us; especially in new or different situations/relationships. We then learn 'better and more effective' survival skills to use.

(((StandingStrong))) That's okay though, even when it doesn't feel ok. It's part of the process and it's only temporary until we learn whatever it is we need to learn and then move forward.
