@faeslily to live in this world
you must be able
to do three things
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go
-- Mary Oliver
@magicmoxo the biggest problem for overthinkers is emotional hypervigilance, being so attuned to someone else’s energy that you abandon your own.
That’s not connection. That’s self-erasure.
Problem is if someone’s presence can stabilize you, their absence can destroy you.
