RE: To Measure a Place
You and me both. It's an active struggle breaking out of that mindset. It's just so frustrating when love becomes untenable. Ya know? Like, HOW DARE YOU BREAK MY HEART CLEARLY YOU ARE A MONSTER!
Ah, like so. I read something WAAAAY more metaphysical into it. And therefore you made it as my first resteem ever. I think there is something scintillating eternal in what you wrote. ( I probably took that Tao/road you were mentioning above, you might travel down later...).
It's meant to work on a couple of levels, but I wrote the first version of this at a time when I was struggling not to allow myself to fall into the hate trap just because someone made it so I couldn't love them anymore. But then it occurred to me when I did a rewrite that the same dynamic works in other ways too and that so many of our feelings are fluid, and become misplaced as a result, because bad feelings can actually be easier to cope with than no feelings (to an extent). But you're also welcome to reinterpret however you want to and I think it's really cool that you see something else in it (you know, Death of the Author and all). Actually I take it as a huge compliment that you see that kind of depth, hah.
