Just What It Is. Thoughts On A Crossroad.
Mon Mar 03 2008

The whole situation of separation brings three main issues:
You have to deal with the loss of your present,
You have to deal with the loss of your future,
You have to deal with the complexes – the old and the new ones…

The present is an everyday’s struggle with emotions, nothing much I can do, I just have to live it through and let it pass, I suppose…the hardest in dealing with the present is to keep your head high, which I can’t say I’m very good at. And then it locks into a vicious circle: I cannot hold my tears, yet I cannot bare him seeing me crying, so I am crying more because of realisation that I’m helpless to stop the tears in the first place. How dumb is that?! *sigh*

The future is indefinably scary, but I can temporary freeze making new plans and live by today for a while. In transition period this might be the best approach. The future will happened whether we make plans for it or we don’t. Thankfully I can afford to stop thinking of what will be for a little while and concentrate on bringing myself ready for whatever future I will choose later…but it is hard not to think of the future because the future that I cannot have anymore is still here, walking close, so close, I am reaching out and touching him, knowing this is not what we’re supposed to do…and the more we do it, the more pain we both feel…

The complexes are the most difficult to deal with. The old complexes. The ones that I always knew I have, but never bothered to deal with…now outstanding matters kick hard and scream for attention. The new complexes that I’ve developed entirely due to what happened…gee, once I’ll get myself together to work on this lot, I sure will have a busy time for quite a while! Just have to find energy to do that…

I wish I would just hibernate for the time it’ll happen, so that once it’s all over, I won’t have to wake up to my heart and soul shattered into smallest pieces scattered on the ground…but the only way to get out is to walk barefoot on them…painful as it is, it is also quite sobering in a sense of self-awareness…so never mind…I’ll get there...one day…

I’m as far as knowing that I’m a worthy person. Worthy in a general sense. Defining the worthiness in measurable values is another matter…worthy of what exactly? Of how much of that? Of how soon? These are the questions I have no answers yet. But at least I’m no longer into that “I’m nothing” mood…I know things about me that I’m proud of. I know other things too, and knowing what they are is already a first step to change them. On this crossroad of my life I simply am. No more no less…and sometimes just to be is enough…

    There is nothing one can really say of comfort, it seems. Loss, is just hard. Very hard.

    But, just remember this, it's not over. You aren't over. Some things are different now, yes. But, it's not like you are at the end of all things good. New good things will happen. Maybe old good things will happen.

    But the pain, it will change to something more tolerable.

    Best of luck honey.

    Dealing with complex and issues is a life-long process.. it is not an event but a process!!

    I do have a new camera.. but can't load the software that goes with it.. So I have no idea how to get the pix onto my computer.. or onto a disk.. I throught there was a way to transfer them to CD, but have not had success..

    Oh yeah.. State street goes on and on straight.. so does I-80..
    I never thought about it... most the states I've been to.. (Boston being an exception) have these straight roads.. They just go and go..

    You brought back a funny memory when you wrote about the road...
    When I was a kid.. back in the 50's and most the cars had those BIG V-8 engines.. Dad would put the medal to the floor and see what our car could do.. we'd be going through the desert or to Calif.. whatever. it was not unusual to reach speeds of 110 MPH.. and the usual carousing speed was probably somewhere in the 90s.. this was before they changed all the speed laws to 65 MPH.. it is so straight it wasn't a danger.. and the car had good tires.
    mind you this was also before child seats were a law..so me and my brother would be jumping all over the back seat..
    I lived through it.. LOL
    and it tickles me now to think of it.
