hi Susan,
I've been away for a while (busy with work) but I was so sad to see your pain in these posts when I returned. I hope you're feeling OK! :) I'm sending virtual hugs your way!I think that many people ESPECIALLY love someone who is forbidden. It's alluring, exciting, tantalizing. It's easy to project all of our desired and "required qualities for a mate" onto this person. Still, knowing that doesn't make it any easier when I'm rejected! I'm so sorry you're in pain right now. It isn't right! Life really just ISN'T fair.
I don't know about throwing all sensibilities to the wind and just "living." I've often thought I should do just that, but the details get in the way: Where would I go? What would I do? If I run, Catherine-like, across the moor, with my hair and my scarf blowing gently in the wind as my feet fly lightly o'er the grasses, would there be a Heathcliff to catch me? Or would I catch my foot in a clod and fall and cut my lip on some old branch, and then remember that I'd squandered my saving on this adventure -- and hey, is that a sheep eating the buttons off my expensive newly-purchased itching-me-in-the-neck sweater???
Still, I would like to be more adventurous, more exciting, more glamorous.
What would you like to do if you were able to just "live"? What would your perfect adventure look like? What would you be doing?
Please write back! I'm so interested to hear your ideas.
