just experienced a brief desire this is so scary

every time it rains i think of that raymond carver poem. poetry is like prayer to me methinks. or an incantation

don’t abandon joy because it is brief. don’t commit to solitude because happiness is fleeting. it’s okay that good things do not last forever. it’s okay to simply enjoy a thing for as long as you have it.

Adulthood is just a day-to-day struggle of losing more and more people, losing more and more things, losing more and more places, losing more and more memories, and not having enought time to grieve over loss. And the only antidote is to make an active effort to meet new people, try new things, go to new places, and take new experiences. Otherwise, adulthood is just a never-ending story of loss and grief over the absence of love.
