What does it all mean..

That feeling..is it love, longing or an undiagnosed psychosis? It is challenging when you have a feeling for someone that after years, you just cant shake. You think  you have gotten the best of it, you have turned the corner and then it rears its head again just to send you back into that amorphous abyss called..feelings. I think there is an exiquiste pain to loving someone (or whatever it is) where there is a uncertainity. You can live in a bubble of possibility without having to examine it any closer, it allows you the external feeling of well..feelings but not growing into any real intimacy.  I dont encourage this state of being, its what the blues was based on and every crappy, dusty floored country crooner bar has liquor stocked for. There is a something magical about having a confirmation,  an acknowledgement that someone loves you back.  That vulnerability of being exposed and then the band aid of togetherness.. is what this whole world is about.  That unfortunately is not my current situation, so my persistant  affection remains quiet where  I just simmer in the angst of yearning and uncertainity. There is a comfort in this  land of ignorance, it feels safer than just jumping into  the fire of expression with the possibility of rejection.  The ugly truth is, no matter  how philosphical we may wane. ..  feelings have no committee to check in with to ensure your on safe territory. There is nothing to do but ride that torrential  wave, wherever it leads,  sometimes it may  bliss and other times to another disappointment. Having romantic feelings for someone can make them feel like the celebrity and you the President of thier fan club...which  can kind of suck. It also can be a great distractor to  keep you occupied from the dreadful feeling of..no feeling. Again, there is no resolve here but to  share my affliction with others who can commiserate.  For we know day dreaming of the unresolved love..can be..well.. lovely, for nothing  in life  is quite like fantasy.  We also know, that  fantasy can't  change you like the  beautiful mess of reality;  if your lucky enough to experience it. Here's a soy chai latte  toast to....hopeful real love <3.
