  • Yo, 'cho. Was thinking of you last week as I drove through the Palouse. Took the kids to Yellowstone and decided to divert through Pullman to visit the alma mater. Pity about all the smoke, but it was still a pretty drive.
    Love is simply a chemical reaction evolved from the need to propagate the species, eventually morphing into a dried-out husk, kept afloat through legal fine print and Hallmark cards.

    I miss looking forward to waking up. I miss enjoying the moment. I miss feeling protected. I miss being happy. I just miss being.

    It's a weird feeling when one of my oldest friends, who will soon be a new dad and who knows about my AB side, sends me a link to their baby registry. It's that uncomfortable "did he think about me and my knowledge of these items when sending the list, and will my gifts be over analyzed?"

    I suggest not to worry too much about it. If, as an old friend, he knows about you and your AB side, I suppose he should be aware of the distinction between your private life and your relation to real-life babies.
    Don't force that distinction unto him now, though, as that might raise suspiscion.

    No worries there. I simply purchased them a gift and congratulated them.

    Some progress: told my estranged wife I’m moving into my own place early summer. It will freaking hurt, because she still means the world to me. The bandage, though, needs to be ripped off. We both need to start new chapters.

    Good luck. I have sometimes thought of separating for a bit, but we are not at that point.

    How are things now?
    I don’t understand the thought process that wanting to be alone is a sign of depression. I’ve never been more depressed than when I’m in a relationship and always have to stay attuned to their needs, mood, and so on. It’s freaking exhausting and kills the wonder I want to see in the world.

    Some people simply thrive apart from others. I am insufferable and awkward at parties & social functions but do very well interacting with others when we're all doing something. The rest of the time...I'm solo.

    I'm lucky. I've been with the same partner for 30 years and the beginning was the hardest - getting used to each other's way and sharing space - very hard for me. I'd been living happily by myself for 15 years when we met. But now we know each other's thoughts from our expressions.

    I’m not in a great mood and haven’t been for weeks. The depression is slowly starting to take things over again. My life is a high-mileage car being driven with the emergency brake on.

    I’m starting to believe that the only form of unconditional love is between a parent and their child. I don’t think it can exist between adults; there’s always an “...or else we’re through” clause. Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be; after all, the law sees marriage as simply a binding contract. I broke that contract twice; I never will sign one again. It’s not worth it.

    Marriage, once a religious rite, has been so bastardized by law that it has, indeed, been reduced to a mere economic/business compact...a merging of assets and an assignment of roles ending with dividing of the assets. Real love has no such constraints. Legal marriage is obsolete.

    I think one can have unconditional love as a resting place, a place of arrival but it takes an awful lot of living from each others viewpoints to reach.
    I never found it in younger days.

    and I never had unconditional love for my parents - I could hardly bare them and was glad to leave...

    Dogs are great ! Lots of reasons to get up and go! I like to take a camera with me when walking with my canine buddies! Just a happy snap in the rain ! Or a chance encounter with a fox! Spring is here and covid is on the out!

    I’m gonna be honest: I’m having a very hard time aging gracefully. It depresses me endlessly. It’s hard looking forward to anything in the future when your best days - the ones you long for - are only slipping further into the past.

    Pro tip: order your burrito ‘wet’. It basically changes it into a Canada-sized enchilada. Transcendent. (And no, it’s not a euphemism.)

    Scratching at the grey maw of winter’s tide lie vestiges of yesteryear, glimpses of unfettered joy; borne to no one but an outstretched hand, helpless to cloister, resigned to ether, claimed to none, left to languish in regret.

    In the insanity of today, I think us cynical types often forget how amazing the world is thanks to science. I bought a book about the history of East Germany. The pictures enough were amazing, but thanks to Google Translate, I can use the camera on my phone, wave it over the pages, and it freaking translates it to English. Holy crap!
