It’s never a fun thing to be left, nor to leave. I’ve been in both situations. Among two people I spent almost a decade of time. Trying to build something. Trying to make it work. Pouring my entire being into making it successful, or getting to the consensus of working together. Both eons of effort…
Derealization
You look out of the window of your mind, and you see a dream. This dream has all of your hopes, joys and delights before you, and yet because of an invisible barrier you feel as if you cannot touch it. It is as a one way mirror. I think of Zeno’s paradox. Where there…
