I'm a 19 year old college student who got dumped a couple months ago from a year+ long relationship that I had much higher expectations for, and was very invested in. My parents recently told me they're getting divorced, which unlike the breakup wasn't a surprise. I've seen this coming for years, neither one of them has really been happy with their marriage or in general for a while. But it's been hard seeing them be so incredibly sad lately. And I'm starting to regret going to a school thousands of miles away from them, because I want to be there for them more than ever. Igor Stravinsky's The Firebird has personal value to me, and the Phoenix is a sign of rebirth and new beginnings. Which I think is something I'm in desperate need of.
