I don't know that it's so difficult as it is that I became overly confident. I've been trying to put Lady Shar behind me and find another way forward, but I admittedly don't find it easy, to try and face difficult things knowing I don't even have the faith I held onto before. [as poor of a handhold as it was.]
This week, it felt as though what I'd been trying to accomplish had just simply...worked. So a lot of other things suddenly seemed possible for me, too.
Is that so terrible? To just believe something will work?
[ thoughtfully. ]
That seems to me to be a different kind of faith entirely. A faith in yourself, perhaps, and not in a god. It isn't as if you don't have a safety net. All of us would catch you, if you fell.
