i've been thinking a lot about holding on to the people we love, never really knowing when they'll be gone. buddhists would say that we create false senses of permanency, that we cling to things because we want to fight the truth that nothing in life is really permanent. while it sounds so lovely in theory, it seems to me like this clinging is the essence of human life--we hold on to each other because that's what feels right sometimes.

loss will always be confusing for me, trying to come up with my own ways of saying goodbye, my own ways of coming to terms with holes where people used to be. i keep trying to tell myself that i'm ok, that i'm in a better place, that i'm ok with being by myself for now (whatever ok means, i'm not sure) but i wonder if i'm just trying to fool myself into thinking that time really does heal all wounds on its own. i guess i'll find out sometime and things will become more clear...but for now, it's just kind of THERE.
