Thanks JWS, Julia, Pisces, TD and HC! Hugs to all of you.
I'm really OK. It surprises me that I am, but I am. I found this great excerpt that Kalni posted in someone else's thread awhile back from a Greek poem that is sort of how I feel at this moment:
Pretty soon I will not be missing you Because we only miss what we don't have My love for you grows bigger each moment And soon it will be so strong That I don't need to see you anymore I will have you within
My love for him feels like it's radiating out of me. I can picture him standing here, and miss him and be sad, but I'm not really hurt anymore, I'm not really scared, I'm more sad that I can't love him the way I would like to. But that's OK, I can still love him as my friend.
I saw an old friend today, we had lunch, and he was super supportive and encouraging, and had no doubts that I would be just fine--and that's really what I needed to hear, it reflects how I feel.
Do you guys find that friends sometimes react weirdly and project their own fears onto what you're going through? Sometimes friends have made me feel so badly about this sitch, cause they took my situation so personally--like if it had happened to them--and projected all their fear onto me. Luckily, my friend today did the opposite, but I was wondering if anyone else had that experience with anyone in RL?
It is in the shelter of each other that people live.--Irish proverb
