Treading the water of it to truly understand it.

Seek understanding.

“When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don't blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change”

― Thích Nhất Hạnh

"You can meditate on a person, and if you have enough mindfulness and concentration, you can make a breakthrough and understand the nature of that person."

“The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.” ~Ralph Nichols

“We don’t need to create bridges to climb over chasms, or do battle with dragons and monsters, though this paints an epic and exciting story for us, which we can get lost in for a time, healing is much simpler… Healing can be as simple as recognizing that who we are underneath the physical garment is so incredibly beautiful as it is and as such the human self is too, and any resistance or tension is only held there because we resist this understanding in one way or another.” – Elias Davis

It's in words somewhere out there.

It's not easy being strong. It's easy to be depressed and give up, but only the strong are successful.

I might not understand your struggle, but I can feel you.
