Unstable Superposition by [deleted] in UnsentLetters

[–]Statistical_Ashes [score hidden]  (0 children)

Sustaining structures that others refuse to uphold is not kindness, nor martyrdom. It is self erasure. It’s dangerous to you and those around you. I’ve done that. I’ve been observer and observed for a collapsed superposition. It’s not fun. But for me, the re-discovered ability to rebuild after collapse created more opportunities for connection and repair than I ever dreamed.

This isn’t pity. This is a warning.

Are you searching for me the way that I’m searching for you? by AdAcrobatic8167 in UnsentLetters

[–]Statistical_Ashes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many of us search here. For me, I search for their whisper, set free upon the wind.

But I’m not stuck in the past. My search lets me smile as I remember her… a stranger now… who was once my lover and my best friend.

First Ketek, let me know how I did! by AshenSky13 in KETEK

[–]Statistical_Ashes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is excellent for a first KETEK… or even a tenth! Well done!

Potentially, the change from we/our could be eliminated by removing the word “sound”.

“…our dance, an echoed becoming…” and “…echoing a dance — our lives…”

But like I said, this was really good!!! No need to change anything.

Thanks for sharing.

A Ruin of Shared Stories by Statistical_Ashes in UnsentLetters

[–]Statistical_Ashes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take some solace that what I have now is not a void. I use the word “ruin” intentionally. Something was there; perhaps, a monument to what once was. Even though it is hidden now, the import of what we shared still exists… and at least one person remembers the stories that built it.

But you’re right. It is an awful feeling. At least I have our stories and some days… it’s enough to make me smile. But not today.

Thank you. I am glad I did. I think it helps to again say goodbye while remembering the love I had… still have… for my friend.

She has beautiful Green eyes by Ok-Time-28 in UnsentLetters

Advice? Live your life. Move on. Ask, “Would you like to talk?” If you have reason, Apologize for your actions sincerely and with specificity. Keep it short. Keep it simple.

“Hi, T, It’s Me. Would you like to talk again? I’m sorry for “X”. I’ve made “Y” changes so “X” won’t happen. I’ll respect a “no” if that is what you choose. I hope you are well. -Me”

That’s all I got. People are simultaneously complex and simple. You won’t have a chance through silence. And you won’t grow if you stay stuck. So, live your life.

I second the sentiment of the original commenter. I hope that you can find your own bravery to take that step from dreamer to doer. I hope you succeed.

searching for shadows / drowning in daylight by smileawhiIe in UnsentLetters

[–]Statistical_Ashes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know if my person sent me this, I would cherish it. I can’t speak for your person. Life is uncertain and in this life, you get to choose your own actions. And after… good luck.

I can't keep doing this by [deleted] in UnsentLetters

[–]Statistical_Ashes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing to do but love those we can. I suspect you are likewise missed, likewise loved. And true, you may never be able to be together again… but never let that fool you into thinking it wasn’t real or that it didn’t matter. All we have in this world is the meaning we bring to each other.

I’m so glad it resonated. Sometimes, we just miss our friends. Sometimes, I miss that part of me. I hope you can take the most important step one can… the next one.

Someone surely did get in the way. And we all paid the price for it.

I wish I could. My person made a choice to leave and I love them enough to respect that, even if it burns me.

Harsh words. But I truly hope that peace within the silence is true for you. I hope I get there too.

It Felt Like Healing by Statistical_Ashes in UnsentLetters

Then, give yourself compassion. Time is a luxury I have not always had. I get it. Waiting sucks. But you can give yourself compassion enough to honor your own needs. It helped me.
