I heard something the other day that I had never really thought about before. Someone mentioned to me that whenever you catch yourself missing someone who left your life, you should remind yourself that them not being part of your present is a consistent choice they make every day. They wake up and decide to maintain the silence. They’re indifferent as to whether the space between you gets larger. And that in itself is pretty powerful closure.
Okay so I feel like crap and I can’t push myself to do anything. I’m too depressed to go out. Too depressed to talk to people even online. I even called in sick from work (I was coughing but I could have gone) and I have never done that since I started my newest job 2 and a half years ago. I was getting better, but recovery isn’t a straight line. I have fallen, again, and I need to stand up, again.
“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (via quotemadness)
