    • I really like this! Most of us don’t really soak in life how we used to before we had the world in the palm of our hands & information, entertainment & the pretense of connection at our fingertips. Really LIVING a moment has to be much more intentional—a disciplined decision now.

      • Thanks Ruby for your thoughtful and considered comment.
        There are so many things now that are better than before but peace in ourselves is not one of them.
        😘

    • Unfortunately, this really does go down, Keith. But you really described the reality of this pseudo relationship. so to speak. Brilliantly penned, my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • I’ve seen too many relationships like this. I think people can be rather self destructive. Abuse can also mess with our heads. We tend to believe that we are only as good as what our abusers tells us. It’s difficult to get away from that but most people live better lives once they do. Great ink.
