Would that kill you? Would you eventually manage to come to terms with it? What would you do? Would you find a way to somehow handle even this situation?
I'm seeing what you're seeing, and I think you're correct.

Maybe it takes experiences like these to help one grow wiser, to help me understand my true independence, when being made to stand alone, and realize I'm not anything less because of it, than what I always was.

I have the interesting feeling of experiencing loss and at the same time being beyond it, being emotionally beyond the reach of loss.

I have reciently started to feel that this part of me is impervious to loss as long as I choose to be.
