Simultaneously Ambivalent Nightmares

I don't know how much sense the title of this blog makes, but it works for me. Ever close one nightmarish chapter to your life at almost the exact same time that an old nightmare reappears? It's a very odd feeling, to say the least. On one hand, it's a tremendous relief that one can finally put a close to a very difficult chapter in their life. However, on the other hand, it can be very difficult to take on two nightmares almost simultaneously. While one may have ended, the time, pain, and effort it took to close the chapter will likely drain a person for a period of time. So, to finally close one stressful and nightmarish chapter completely drained and be forced to move directly on to another such chapter is very difficult and tiresome. But, when situations arise, there's not much we can do but make the best of them. Hopefully the second chapter can be closed like the first one was and the nightmares will vanish into nothing.
