I Need Emotional Intimacy

I feel emotionally bankrupt at the moment.

To top off a whole lot of sadness and chaos happening in my life at the moment, I recently somehow inadvertently lost a very special friendship.

But that's life, right? People come and go. I'm a stayer and I thought they were too.

Life goes on. And as much in my sorrow I don't want to believe it, I take hope in the knowledge that at some stage the universe will replace this friendship with another. Until then...

I found the hardest thing to learn in life was simply that people come and go, and that I had to be whole and intact in and of myself. Some people seem to get that instinctively but the rest of us learn the hard way.

@Rambler that is so true, and it is something I am beginning to learn. It’s just hard when in this world friendship treasures are few and far to find - it’s hard to reconcile the loss.

@SarcasmInSydney Yes, and taking the losses doesn't get easier, it's just that it helps to understand that it's an ebb and flow.
