what do you do
when
the people who say
they love you
the most
say the thing
they want from you
the most
is
your absence?

About Me
- Temple
- I must write or die. It is my only true savior and salvation. The ocean is my church. I love animals more than most people. I used to be a lawyer in practice, now I am one in theory. I am complicated and spiritual, empathetic and kind.

Allow them the space they need, I guess. Allow for the possibility that it may be fair enough on their part that they need that space no matter your own circumstances ... step out of those circumstances to see their perspective, too. Grieve what is lost, grieve what has changed and needs to be redefined in a new way, but never lose yourself or your belief in your own lovability in the process.
Or, you know, just tell 'em to fuck off.
Space is fine, I only wish for communication at some point. Perspective is hard to find when you're not sure what is happening, but definitely a good goal to strive for. Grieving...hmmmm, check. Such a long process it can be, and as for losing myself or my belief in my lovability...well, I work on that all the time. :) I just...hate it.
You know, someone else just said that, tell them to fuck off....
made me laugh, which is good. Wish I could sometimes I guess, but it's not my style...until someone shows me that they have no real concern for me, then I go away...but I've never been able to tell someone to fuck off. Maybe when I'm old and crotchety. :)
