meaning

[wiz]

I remember in college when my life felt so meaningful I had to write in this thing every single day to share just how much I had learned. I think it's a phase, like when kids suddenly start asking "What's this" about EVERYTHING. This turns into "this is" when we learn to attach meaning to things, and everything around them becomes something worth

It's like this longing for them to continue their lives, a book that I've only read the first few chapters of which I will never get to finish reading. In one case the rest of the book is blank, but in the other the rest is being written - but the fact that I'm not able to read it makes it somewhat equivalent. And it hurts the same.

I have a similar feeling about my high school love, who is married now and lives within half an hour of me and who has no wish to have me in his life as a friend. But it's like, in the book of my life, his character has abandoned ship and jumped out of the novel, defiantly taking his story with him. It's sad; I want to see his story, meet his wife and future kids and all that. The romantic love I had for him a long time ago is gone, but I feel the loss of his friendship keenly. I feel unfairly robbed, victim of some shadowy judgement I don't know the nature of but would never agree with. At any rate, I know what you mean about losing stories.
