but if you always keep your toes on the ground, you never learn the joy of swimming. and if you’re learning to hang glide and never take the leap, you never experience the freedom and exhiliration of flying. some risks are worth taking, Michelle. but you are the only person who has all the data and can decide if the potential rewards outweigh the risks. seems you have friends here ready to catch you if you miss the ‘happiness cloud’ you are hoping will provide a soft landing pica

mmm.. escape or wallowing? whenever I put on a sad CD, I start wallowing, and I end up transcending the whole feeling of loneliness.. when it stops I come back to the realisation that I was feeling lonely to begin with, and it’s a bit too much to take > perhaps forget all about it for a while………… > but it comes back > always comes back………….. > there just doesn’t seem to BE any understanding
Yeah.. everyone seems to be surrounded by friends and lovers.. for some reason it feels like I’m in a vacuum… even though I have friends that I (occasonally) see… maybe it’s the occasonally thing, I dunno… but it’s romance as well… I moved across the country to live with my girlfriend, and left her while I went thru a bout of homesickness and depression.. so now I’m back home with my parents..hating it…. and she’s so far away… > and then what happens? you end up in bed for two weeks trying to deal with > the pain of yet someone else who has moved on or considers you crazy or for > whatever reason………………… > sometimes I wonder if I should give it my best shot or whether to kill it > now > accept that it’s only friendship and don’t fall all the way because I really > don’t think I could bear it again

Response:
Yes, each one is alone–that is the proof of identity: you are you and no other, nor are you "nothing in particular." Real contact–with all the "reals" that that entails–is possible on the basis of this realization, without illusions. It is on that basis that there is integrity. Integrity makes all the real things possible, including love. Cynics (and here, trolls) will say otherwise…but since when have *they* ever deal in reality?
