To neither resist nor attach yourself to people and things,
To simply glide past each person, whether worthy or not worthy of seeking out.. and just slip away.. as if we’re all floating in time and space.
Thinking about people and attraction..
Sometimes people come to you because they feel for you - it could be need, attraction, resonance, habit, convenience or even sympathy..
Sometimes we fend people off (or we let them slip) - because our energies are dissonant - but with what? With our shadow selves, fears, values, beliefs, judgement, expectations and perhaps our bigger aspirations for our lives.
When their pictures of tomorrow have no place for you - is there a blind spot in their picture making to be excluding others, or is it just you trying to photobomb another person’s image of heaven?
Some pictures are better left sparse and minimal, and that’s okay.
Some pictures are all-inclusive, colourful, a mish-mash of everything, and that’s okay.
No one’s holding you close, but no one is pushing you away - you’re just an experience they don’t need today.
Some people are minimalists when it comes to people, and some are maximalists.. and it’s not for you to dwell or worry about.. because life is sometimes cruel - in the shifting and restructuring of our lives, we drift, we make choices, we move on.
As we feel the fading and drifting apart, I believe in keeping memories someplace in my heart, with a sort of gratitude that does not make light of the moments we shared.. a deeply-felt, mature sort of gratitude, so tender and kind it does not waver through the five stages of grief, and never claims to forget.
