Tension comes from a pull between what you know can be and that which does not seem to be. It is like you are the rope being pulled in a tug of war, and so sometimes you feel fraught. The threads of you seem to fray. Being pulled in two directions at once, you have choices to make.

don’t have your back during difficult times…
that is not a friend.
