@carcampwcorey Unhealthy relationships are like tying the two skaters together at the waist. Limiting. Stifling. And when the solution would be to cut the rope, one ends up trying to pull it tighter.
@carcampwcorey Perhaps. The strongest romantic relationships are like figure skating pairs. Each are strong skaters, and they don’t skate the entire performance together. The skate apart and do amazing work, then come together and help each other so even more.
@carcampwcorey Have you read the poem “Go to the Limits of Your Longing” by Rilke? It has helped me through many a dark day.
That said, poetry isn’t a replacement for needed medications.
