i feel like the interpersonal regrets that weigh the heaviest are from situations where i didn’t ask the other person to meet me in the middle but just let them go. but every time i’ve done the hard part of asking, it’s always been easier to live with whatever outcome of the situation! whether they walked closer or not
Love persists. I will always love a friend I lost over 20 years ago through my actions. Some things cannot be mended. But you cannot stop caring. It is wonderful whenever friendships are mended and amazing how often that can happen. But words are really limited, especially in the context of fractures.
realized recently that i may also believe in language too much to the peril of me and everyone else. it’s not real. we try to wrestle with the horns of the bull. it’s not real. nothing i say matters, no matter how pithy. there’s an abyss and language doesn’t reach across it. it’s not real, language sucks. it’s an abstraction
this made me tear up :’)
