Outloud is a good thing

A couple of hours ago, a friend called me. I haven't talked to him in quite awhile. He got to hear my whine from the dark side. I listened to his current issue.

We talked about "human being" for awhile. And about the bits of us that feel "wrong" or "bad."

And life lightened up.

Somewhere in the conversation, this came to me. (For the "you," substitute anyone that has ever caught my attention.)

"I'm not miserable because I want you and can't have you. I'm miserable because I want to want you and I don't."

That pretty much sums it up.
