Ciao Petite (Ciao all).
Reading through all the posts of the last year or so, it is pleasing to see this moment of happiness. One moment begets others. Long may this continue for you Petite. Take care.

True Lapage, it can be hard to let go, even of what you didn’t want in the first place…. and it’s only too easy to let go of something someone else values.

There is in fact a little video that describes perfectly well the dangers Trevor has pointed out (“feelings of grandiosity, become euphoric”, etc.). It lasts just 1:10. It’s simply called… “Jesus Christ : the musical”. And it’s an absolute MUST ! And, last but not least, it can save your life…

“I agree that is a wonderful statement: “being alone can make a person feel more whole than being one half of an ill-matched couple.”

Jonathan Larson, the playwright of “Rent,” had written another musical called “Tick…Tick…BOOM,” and there is a song called “Louder Than Words” In it, there is a wonderful section that goes:

“Why do we stay with lovers
Who we know, down deep
Just aren’t right?

Why would we rather
Put ourselves through hell
Than sleep alone at night?

Cages or wings, Cages or wings,
Which do you prefer?
Ask the birds Ah:
Fear or love, baby
Don’t say the answer

Actions speak louder than Louder than, Louder than,
Louder than, Louder than words.”

I agree that is a wonderful statement: “being alone can make a person feel more whole than being one half of an ill-matched couple.” So true! If only more people realized it. But it isn’t an easy thing to come to realize.
I also have always loved the expression “bien dans ma peau”, it is what we all strive towards
