It is hard to remind ourselves of the purpose of our pain

In the thick of it

Brunette turned blonde and I’m wondering

Where do we go from here

Romance is the framework by which it is obvious we believe in living in the moment

because we know every pairing fails except maybe one or two or even three.

You know what your odds are

but then you play anyway

Perhaps romance is also the best indication of our madness

And desperation to feel

Feel anything – love, jealousy, frustration, desire

Heartbreak

My friend told me that a friend told her that

There is a certain grace to having your heart broken

And I must say

It’s true

There is grace in forgiving yourself, in trusting yourself with

Well, hurting yourself.

Gracious masochism.

Somehow all worth it in the end
or so they are telling me.
