it goes in cycles
durations negotiable
durations be damned
not one hundred percent sure what we talked about over the course of our hour and a half phone convo
there was a lot to cover
in these trying times
but i do know this
we are branches from the same root
kindred
understanding of each other in a way that is unfathomable by others
and unfathomable in a certain way by us too
not exactly a yin and yang because we’re not opposites
we complete each other not because we provide what the other lacks
but because we arrive at the same conclusions
through different thought processes
the same amount of asshole filtered through different brains
so same so different temperament socialization etc
i feel better right now than i have in months
i’m not happy exactly
but i’m not
actively
sad and angry and feeling like burning down a building and punching somebody and crying all night in my car before driving off a cliff the following morning
i don’t like that you’re going through it right now
and you didn’t like that i was going through it
last summer
and two and a half years ago
and [ad infinitum]
one or the other of us is perpetually going through it
and we are a constant to each other regardless
it goes in cycles
and it is what it is
and it is unrelenting
at least we have each other
and all our other chosen assholes
I Started Late and Forgot the Dog. 
I love the way you concluded this.
