When you love someone

posted 5 days ago

and they love you, but perhaps you don’t remember exactly what split the seams and tore the edges apart — or perhaps you do, or one of you does — , can you ever come back together?

Everything is going to be okay. And then it won’t be. And then it will be again. And then your idea of okay will change. And then it’ll change again. Nothing is permanent—nothing at all. And that’s okay.

I want so badly to wake up to the world of a year ago. But things are much more clear now.

I think at one time I thought of adulthood as a continuum of achievement that could potentially culminate in my becoming one of these people, which is extra bizarre when you consider that I have never shown the slightest interest in or inclination towards law, medicine, banking, or dating anyone with a greater net worth than mine (which is, btw, smaller than yours, assuming you have a job). Would I even want this, now? I don’t know. I don’t think so. For certain there is a species of elation that it’s only possible to feel in those giddy bubbles high above the city, but probably a lot of it has to do with longing and transience. And also I know now that money or status can’t confer immunity from that clammy feeling of impending death, because nothing can. That feeling can be fended off, though, with a battery of intangible possessions that are more precious than designer clothing or beautiful artworks. This is stuff that I think I am just starting to figure out how to possess.

It’s going to sound silly, I know, but I think that what it all comes down to is winning hearts and minds. Underneath everything else, all the plans and goals and hopes, that’s why we get up in the morning, why we believe, why we try, why we bake chocolate cakes. That’s the best we can ever hope to do: to win hearts and minds, to love and be loved.
