Dear grounded:

What I find true to many people is the following, and I will express it as a situation for a woman, not specifically you or me, but a woman, in theory for the moment, let me know if this speaks to you:

she is in her 20s, or 30s, or  older. She is lonely and sad. There is a despair about her, some sort of hopelessness. But it is not new, it’s been so every since she was a child. Not all the time, but a lot. An experience of being alone. As a woman she feels the same as she did then and she falls in love with this guy or that guy, daydreams of being together happily-ever-after.

Never again Alone.

There is a gap between fantasy and reality. In reality, a relationship with a man cannot bring a happily-ever-after together kind of feeling, there is together, and there is alone, and we are sad sometimes in the relationship, and sometimes he is sad, and distressed, and we have to endure these things because life is not a fairytale. Fairytales are about Fantasy and daydreaming, they make us feel good but expecting to live those, that brings us misery and we do find ourselves alone.

What do you think?
