I always say it but sometimes the best we can do is just go to bed and tomorrow’s a new day. Feeling really off and sad tonight, trying not to be up in my head but it’s really hard. Goodnight everyone I’ll talk to you all tomorrow
Rest easy friend.
Right there with you @Rockstar24777 Maybe it’s the full moon. Hoping you had some peace in your rest and are waking to lightness.
Thanks @Its_me_Stella and at @Laraellelarissa. I feel a bit better this morning. Woke up wide awake at 3:33 am this morning ugh. Have a great day
Wendell Berry is a favorite of mine, and this poem is, too.
I’d add … in adulthood as well.
Ha!! But of course!!!
Damn. Now I’m going to be wondering the exact same thing for, like, the rest of my life.
“The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it’s not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person–without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.”
