The irony of being able to understand the most complex of human wiring and connect with people on a deeper level, yet still be unable to maintain those connections and therefore end up alone (every time) because in this day and age (or maybe it’s always been like this), anything that goes beyond skin deep is ultimately too intense for people. Me on the other hand, I like intense. Maybe not all the time, you need to recharge your batteries at some point (but that’s what TV is for, or should I say Netflix.) But how can you live your whole life, day in and day out, in the shallow end of the pool, without ever diving into the deep end where you can tumble about fearlessly and stretch out your limbs in every direction?

I find that, for most people, intense is only bearable in short bursts.
Some of us are able to tolerate, and sometimes even crave, longer bursts, so that we can get into the depth of feeling, whether it be feeling “real” or “present” or “loved” or “not alone”.
I do hope that the connection we made is not a fleeting one, however it manifests.
I definitely think you’re on to something there!
