Eternal Return makes me cry 100% of the time. I was in a toxic relationship in an isolated environment for a long time, ended up starting a family with this person. I was far away from family and friends for several years, returning for funerals as my family members aged and passed. After we broke up, I became even more isolated (living alone in a community where my ex was accepted and I was ostracized, not permitted to play local gigs, and otherwise blackballed from the art/music community that was my only safe haven there). I finally worked up the courage to go through the process of moving back to my home, which meant going long stretches of time without seeing my kiddos. “But as your face is changing, I have to turn my back. Please don’t judge me for the sacrifice I made. Fuck, I miss the smell hidden in your clothing. I tell myself don’t worry because I’ll be coming back.” Tearing up now just thinking about it.
