Ever try to bury something really deep and just hope it goes away?
It doesn't work. Look at me, giving advice I don't even follow myself, but it's true.

You spend quite a long time beating it down and molding it into a little, manageable ball. You actually think you're making progress, until you try to swallow it. That's where it gets caught in your throat. You keep trying to swallow, but it keeps pushing up. Those deep, dark crevasses of your mind don't want to hold onto it.

Sooner or later, it will come back up, and when it does, it will make a stupendous mess all over the floor that is your life. I'm hoping for later.
