SG - amazing that you saw your ex again just after having those feelings of acceptance - well done on walking on when you knew it was what you needed. And well done on going *into* the feeling and exploring through your writing and guitar - that's a beautiful thing to do with the pain, to let it fuel your creative experience. Seems to me that that kind of turns it into a willing exploration of being human, rather than just a necessary tolerance of the misery of life!!

quote:

It’s not obsessing about my ex-BF – it’s my guide, my map, just like Dar Williams says in her song. And I really am looking for what it says about me, and how can I develop these things in my own life.

I love this... it feels really rich. Thanks.
