oops,i'm still into plagiarism

just reading eat,pray,love for the umpteenth time and thought i'd leave you with this favorite part.


"and the question now for me is, What are my choices to be? What do I believe that I deserve in this life? Where can I accept sacrifice, and where can I not? It has been so hard for me to imagine living a life without "him" in it. Even just to imagine that there will never be another road trip with my favorite traveling companion, that I will never again pull up at his curb with the windows down and Springsteen playing on the radio, a lifetime supply of banter and snacks between us, and an ocean destination looming down the highway. But how can I accpet that bliss when it comes with this dark underside-bone-crushing isolation,corrosive insecurity,insidious resentment and, of course, the complete dismantling of self that inevitably comes when "he" ceases to giveth, and commences to taketh away. I can't do it anymore. Something about my recent joy...has made me realize that I not only can find happiness without "him," but must. No matter how much I love him(and I do love him, in stupid excess), I have to say goodbye to this person now. And I have to make it stick."-Elizabeth Gilbert


ah,don't you just know the feeling?
