You may not be hurting over anyone in particular but you channeled pretty powerful feelings that were tracked by my radar.
Well okay, I am a cognizant human who’s been watching us needlessly destroying this planet’s biosphere, which we depend for everything. Now I’m watching democracy literally die within the United States of America. I’m helping care for a beautiful baby who’s world will be a genuine hell hole by the time he becomes an adult. So yes, okay Sree, I do live with a lot of pain and anguish, but I’m still open to the beautiful and love that does exist, and the good things in my life.
Xain, many of us love feeling we are unique and we are, yet, yet, we are humans, we are biological beings, sure we have different temperaments and abilities, we reach sort of different milestones when it comes to the specifics, but in the end family (the one we came from and the one’s some of us create), shelter, food, wanting good time and a sense of success, tasting love, losing love, even feeling estranged as you project yourself, I don’t believe you are above and beyond those yearning and that fundamental humanism. In fact, I imagine some of your neurosis is because you deny so much within yourself, that shouldn’t be denied.
I’ve been very blessed by the parents and the upbringing I received, so guess I’ve been gifted with a few extra ounces of curiosity and appreciation and awe than most others appear to have been, but I’m still mired in the same struggles and frustrations and find my successes where I can. It’s just that somewhere long ago I embraced life as an adventure and revel in experiencing it and trying to comprehend all of it, and despite many silly predictions to the contrary turns out I’ve done okay (even if no one gives a damned about what I struggle to write), and I’ll wager pretty good odds that when the time comes I’ll die in peace. What more can we hope for?
