Maybe I do more than the average person. Yeah, I probably do. But still, some events in the aftermath proved that my feelings were probably less "resolved" at times than I had thought. Go fig. Even with my coolheaded approach, I have a heart. It's been a nice realization, in some ways. :-)Original Mohomiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12887614143300677214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450854270080513022.post-78020822658732450562008-03-19T00:52:00.000-07:002008-03-19T00:52:00.000-07:00some of this sounds a bit silly to me nowI don't t...<I>some of this sounds a bit silly to me now</I><BR/><BR/>I don't think it sounds silly at all. It sounds very real. I am far too familiar with those feelings myself.<BR/><BR/><I>Over time, after each relationship, I went through stages or flashes of sadness, despair, tender memory, bitterness, resolution, and acceptance of mourning the loss not only of the kind of connection I had felt but also the loss of even some of the hope for having that kind of connection again.</I><BR/><BR/>I could have written that very statement.<BR/><BR/>I wish I could reason myself out of emotion as well as you seem to be able to. Honestly, for people in our situation it's an enviable trait to have. I just go on feeling a dull pang from my own experiences.Max Powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14955796304197971564noreply@blogger.com
