People come in sets. Meet one person, and you'll meet another person, or gain insight into them, or learn part of a story, or experience things you may not have ever experienced otherwise. Things you may not have ever known existed.
Since The Epic Meeting, I've met lots of other people. I haven't become extraordinarily close to anyone, but I don't really need to. From here, (however you want to define distance,) I can see how beautiful and colorful and amazing they are. And it shows me a lot about human interaction and intangible things, but it also makes those things even harder to grasp fully.
It's pretty great.
Were it not for the ex, I never would have fallen in love with Louisville and concrete and the smell of inner-city dust.
Were it not for people who go out of their way to hate me, I would not have realized that I've no room in my life for toxic people or toxic things.
Were it not for everyone in east Frankfort, I wouldn't have known all their stories or been able to figure out how they all move together.
Were it not for a few friends, I wouldn't have thought twice to explore things like sound and sexuality.
Were it not for Eric, I would have missed... a lot. In the same few months, I've been the happiest I've ever been, the safest I've ever felt, and the most terrified I've ever been.
Were it not for my brief time and interactions at k state, I wouldn't have known that I'm really comfortable in my own skin. I wouldn't have tried some of the things I did, I wouldn't have seen some essential things, and there would still be an entire culture I had no clue existed.
The list could stretch for miles. And I'm grateful for that.
Something in me is full and ready to burst; laugh, cry, scream, dance, love, sleep, fuck, sink, climb, run at the same time.
It's a little overwhelming but it's nice.
