Or maybe it's "not a straight line of progression" even to the extent that these things can still exist and you can make some forward movement at same time?
I ask because my own "story" seems endless, the hurt and anger and sadness seem endless, and I find myself longing to be able to point to some forward movement.

I relate to what you say about your story seeming endless, the emotions seeming endless.........though I have told the basic facts of my story, the story of the emotions and the pain seems to be so deep, so complex and so long I can't see the end of it and feel like no matter how much I try to tell it, it will still be mostly untold in the end! I think though, that even with this feeling, there can and will still be a going forward....just that the story will continue to affect us in one way or another, with the way it affects us changing as we ourselves change.....we will carry our stories with us.
