The Yearning Comments

I decided to give the affliction a name just so I know what to call that god awful spiritual pain that sits on your chest whenever you're crushing for someone. It also applies to romantic relationships that seem to be veering off course, not just crushes. Anytime someone's affected you to the point where you're getting those symptoms, it's Yearning. And, yes, I agree with that you that, in a weird way, it must be embraced. Many times I've yearned and felt terrible, yet still enjoyed it in a masochistic way. It's a cliche, but better to feel something than nothing.

Consider me crushing….on your writing. Seriously though, Yoni, the voice behind your poetry is confident and secure. I feel like i’m constantly yearning anymore for someone. Maybe you get to the point, where all you do is yearn? And maybe it isn’t such a bad thing, but something to be embraced under the umbrella of passion. Best care, Goldy
