>>5969524I have never gotten over my ex (and first love). It's been 4 years since we were together. My uncle told me, as we smoked around the table in our family's hunt camp, "She'll always be with you. Even after you're married, and have two amazing kids, and can't really remember her face. She'll always be in your heart."
My highly existential, intelligent, and writer friend told me soon after I broke up with her about the concept of life's "echoes". The theory goes as this: Everything in life, since the dawn of man, has been cheapening by playing out over and over. Even in your life, things will play over and over.
There's an ancient Chinese philosophy that states that "you meet everything in your life three times".
So, anon, I too am right beside you. The world has been crumbling, and my place in it is weakened; I am no longer invincible like I was, and I am no-longer a prodigy of the heavens.
Time passes.
