Maybe it is because they made us read too many things like "Great Expectations," in school. Mrs. Haversham wanders around in her wedding dress with the molded wedding cake still sitting on the table decades after she's been stood up on her wedding day. That just feels so satisfying as a story-even though it is absurd. In my mind I know that real people grieve and change and learn and move on. (There's so totally no way that I would hang out with someone like Mrs. Haversham.) But some piece of my heart recoils in horror at Bad Things and I can't imagine how people can ever get Bad Thing to not be the center of their lives.

A chewy subject, thanks for posting about it.
