I am tired of thinking about her, or crying about her. I know it's not reciprocal, and it wasn't real to a certain degree. Only time now will let her image fade away. There is part of my that wants to hold-on to what was there. I feel like she played a role in my life, and it healed me, it changed me to my core, and now her role is over. I am unsure how to feel about that. Did I use her? She enjoyed the ride and was the one who closed the 'relation'. Am I letting her down? She seems fine walking away from it. It feels like we never really talked, we were just interacting, but never spoke really. I don't know if talking now would be useful, or it would just pressure her or me into a fake next step? There is so much I would say, but would it even mean anything. I know what is going on is for the best of both of us, but it hurts. I realize how my life was empty before she came to me. Now I am back into that emptiness and there is little to no goal. I am back to healing, business, relationship with my daughter, taking care of the home, somewhat lightening my owning, creating some saving... I guess my interaction with her generated a lot of dopamine, not only from substances but from the tension of not knowing, the expectation, the waiting, the wondering, the fear, the emotions and the lust. All that creating quite the cocktail in my brain, a rush, a roller coaster, an excitement that I miss now. Do I miss more these sensations than her? This reminds me of the movie Hurt Locker, where you see how being a solider at war could be so much more addictive than day to day life. As I am progressing into my 'liberation', day-to-day life isn't has motivating anymore. The rush I experienced with her pulled me into quite the adventure. I don't know if I'll have that obsession again. Part of me wants to escape into another adventure like that. Part of me is tired of that too. But there is healing in this. That's the weird part, as much as I see this as escapism from... from what I think is 'healing', the whole event really changed me to my core. Not just little habits that changed, but a deeper shift. Not following these passions or obsessions, wouldn't that become escapism from my liberation? Sometime I feel like a full path to liberation would completely screw up my life. Like if I embraced my writer self, and I would stop burning my material, it would completely change the life I have now, to something really unknown and probably really weird. I'm scared of that. I'm scared of who I would become. I have this romantic view of the 'liberated' me, but I think the liberated me might be really strange and not this pure enlightened yogi. I'm starting to have these vision and understanding of how sexuality is used in spiritual practices. And it changes my view on what my evolution might look like, and it's weird. The events that happened in the last few months, completely change my understanding of reality. I try to hide behind a socially acceptable behavior, but healing and liberation somewhat doesn't respect this socially acceptable path. If you only choose a socially acceptable behavior, you can't fully heal or liberate. Our society is not designed for healing, and when you need to deal with deep seated childhood trauma, you have to step outside what is socially acceptable in order to live what you need to live in order to heal. I'm experiencing how unhealthy our society is, not only from advertising, marketing, media overload, but a deeply seated belief of what is good and what is bad, which stop us form truly being human. We are being abuse by the culture we live in without a way to reciprocate, to defend ourselves. And it's a passive-aggressive slow-burn type of abuse. And therefore it becomes really hard to heal, as we can't act, or embody what needs to happen in order to heal. We feel bad about who we are, and would feel even worst if we had to act in a way that would be socially judged. We're stuck in our trauma, wanting to look proper as we slowly get consumed by the ghost that haunts us. How to ride the wave? How to not loose myself into my crazy reality, while healing and keeping the people I love close to me? It feels like some healing can only happens in a certain period of my life, when I am not needed to support anyone, when I am not needed to be proper anymore. When I can be as crazy I need to be in order to release all this past trauma. When I can write and express anything that needs to come out of me, without censor, without fear.
