Bruno’s second word balloon is about as clear as i recall coming to describe how i felt through most of my twenties.

Actually, I’m pretty impressed with Dan’s ability to lay down boundaries here and not get sucked in. Humorously, back then, I was on the Bruno end. not-so-humorously, in ways, I probably still am. :)
Painful to read that. I can only wonder what i was going through at the time or if I had actually been that inventive.
I guess I had only lived in Portland a few months, and so i was still mulling over the whole idea of leaving home (the east coast).
Amazing how much the mind and emotions effect the gut. Or, perhaps, it shouldn’t be viewed as amazing at all, but expected.
“Do we only find passion in the chase, and run when we’re stalked?”
There is painfully so much truth to that.
I have found this to be true. Sometimes the flames that burn the brightest, burn the most.
Another feeling I remember well of moving far from the home-area for the first time, constantly thinking romantically about how great it was back where I was from. Partly it’s a “don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone,” but it’s also partially a defense mechanism to avoid engaging where you are now.
This sequence totally weirds me out. Which was part of the point. It is disturbing the stories we hang onto, and it is an awfully difficult thing to get through.
