Obviously opposites and in life they seem to go hand in hand. They create a rollercoaster ride of emotion that doesn’t seem to ever stop.
The ecstasy of what you think is real joy and togetherness. Perceived comfort of warm arms and murmured phrases of love and devotion in a cocoon of your making. Those Rose colored glasses making everything brighter and happier.
Staring to share things of import and nothing at the same time. Thinking that you are building something solid, firm and lasting with each breath, sigh, word, action and deed.
The Agony of feeling embarrassed and shamed when you find it meant nothing, The hurt that wells up with each half truth and dodge of questions.
The confusion of how anyone could be so cruel to hurt you when you have done not a thing wrong to them.
A new reality that feels eerily similar to one you have left.
So the question I pose –
Do you continue to seek the ecstasy when most likely the agony is just around the corner ready to rear its head?
