when the credits roll do you hang tight?

a liminal space is a crossing over space; a transitional state; a threshold. a gap between where you come from and where you're going. the space between in and out; with or without. It is described as a place that is dream-like.

an airport is a liminal space, a car ride can be a liminal space, a vacation in a foreign place can be a liminal space. you're there for a limited amount of time and the people you encounter there, you may never see them again. they will be short term encounters because soon you'll go home and resume your "normal life".

therefore, there is something about romances in those spaces that are imbued with so much more power. everything is felt to the highest degree because you know you are most likely feeling it for the last time. there is a real pressure on that relationship to manifest because they have a time frame; a deadline.

and that's the tragedy because nothing can be done.
