Your post makes me think of some lines from the movie, Grand Canyon: "Everything seems so close together. All the good and bad things in the world. Everything. I feel it in myself even. And in us. Our marriage. I love you, Claire. I like living my life with you." And it can be really difficult not to become paralyzed by the horror and fear of the horror. Recently I've found needing to avoid listening to a song I recently discovered by an artist who performed it brilliantly. I love that performance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8sewohu2qI&t=3s) and I watched it over and over. But the song has haunted me and its talk of the ordinary horror of existence is something I simply have to avoid getting pulled into.
