What?

It's not the conversation with you. It's the conversations I have with myself about you. Mid-speech. Second-guessing. Every sentence punctuated with questions. Egg stepping and defensiveness. It's unhealthy to engage like this. So, let's reevaluate our connection and minimize the stressfulness.

Essential

The Sun, light and life-giving as she is, can be obscured by clouds from time to time. Even so, she is still there. She is still generative. She is still essential. She is still our brilliant star - part of the observable and infinite Universe.

Do you ever feel like our friendship is this time capsule built on these ideas that don't serve us anymore? It's like we've been feeding each other a steady diet of poison for a really long time...You know how I said anything in life worth doing is fucking scary and going to hurt?...I think I need time to figure out who I am without you...If this friendship has run its course or served its purpose, then maybe that's okay. Maybe letting go of it could be like a celebration.
