hobo BOZO

So BOZO got kicked out of his house...interesting. RH may be sympathetic, but I'm "dispassionate" (a Gemini characteristic). Marriage doesn't mean the end of hard work. A healthy relationship is a constant struggle.

This makes me wonder, why do we have relationships, when each relationship comes with an expiration date (as Wong Kar-Wai tell us in Chungking Express)? Why do we put our heart and soul into something that will eventually cease to exist? Its just the same as living our lives despite the knowledge of our inevitable death.

With all my relationships, I give away pieces of my heart to each of them for safe-keeping. I trust them enough to take care of those pieces. It feels good to let go even at the risk of failure. It makes me happy to know that distance has little impact on my relationships - but distance doesn't mean there is no effort needed. You may live a million miles away or under the same roof - the struggle continues. The quality of a relationship depends on the willingness of both to work on it.

Sounds tedious, doesn't it?
Well if you pick the right people, it's worth every drop of sweat and blood that goes into it.

My family confirmed my fears when I spoke to them. They want to keep me away from my friends when I go back home. How do I explain to them that these friends of mine have pieces of me, and I need to see them, hear them, feel them sitting beside me to strengthen myself, to recharge myself, to take pride in what I helped build.

Enough self-indulgence for a day...now I pass on the baton to RH...

P.S. - I heard from sis that Shrenzy wants to go to McLeod with me - what fun!
