When Someone You Know Becomes Someone You Knew...
You know what scares me? You never know when someone's going to fade from your life. No matter how intimate you may become with someone--emotionally and/or physically--you can have them at your side without ever knowing that a few months later, they'll be gone like they were never there.
I was thinking about my last two relationships (I use that term loosely) and how much I put into them, emotionally speaking, and how they're gone. Just gone. I dunno. Maybe I'm missing something from my head, but I can't get my mind around that. Granted, nothing lasts forever, but you would think if you give so much of yourself to someone, your investment would be somewhat safe. Makes me think of the Linda Ronstadt song, "Blowing Away." Bonus points for anyone who knows that one.
Anyhow... I can't make sense of it. I read once on someone's MySpace page that "The saddest thing is when someone you know becomes someone you knew." That's stuck with me ever since. And it's happened too frequently in the last two years. Some emotional security would be nice.

I have this friend who once told me (after a break up): If someone is a part of your soul family, nothing you can do will make them leave. If they are not, nothing you can do can make them stay. Still sad, yes, but somehow it's helped me to give without the fear of losing.
Yikes. Joseph, that's so true. What a well-written blog, by the way. Honestly. I haven't thought about past people in my life that way -- and, sadly, how some people I know NOW will eventually be people I KNEW....oh well. Hope all is well with you. Love the blog!
Hugs,
Sean
