Learn from the mistakes of others

there are upsides to aspieness.

when i am in a moment, i am in the damn moment. fully, completely.

when i am absorbed by something, or someone, i'm fully absorbed. it/they become the whole universe.

when i feel something, it can be all that i feel. the whole.

simple sensations, like a touch, a look, a smile, can become everything.

when i can relax and be in the moment, i can be absorbed in it completely. i do not get distracted at those times.

so when i am sharing with another, they are everything to me.

when i connect, it is strong.

conversely, if the connection breaks ... well, that is the severing of everything.

it hurts. a lot. and the rebuilding can take a long time. each step, each link, painful. it can never be the same, but i do not forget.

i may not always remember, but i never forget.
