[s0ftplacetoland]

Congratulations to those who can walk through life without falling in love with the idea of falling in love— who don't need to taste every fleeting thing until it lingers like a favorite perfume you can never quite forget.

How must it feel to float through a day without the pull of something half-formed, half-remembered, yet entirely irresistible, without your mind gathering loose threads and weaving them into a story you know will break your heart before it’s finished?

I envy you, though I won’t admit it aloud. You who don’t turn every passing thought into a full-scale obsession, who don’t set up camp in the middle of a moment and refuse to leave, no matter how long it takes to untangle yourself from the mess you’ve made.

But then again, maybe it's lovely to live lightly, without giving your soul over to something that will ask for all of it— like a lover who promises the moon and delivers only silence.

But I don’t know that life, and you, I’m sure, don’t know mine.
