I loved reading this after last Monday’s letter. I identify so strongly with both pieces. The journey in a week’s time of being so enthralled with a crush to realizing that the situation is moving in a different direction resonated with me. As a recovering alcoholic and addict I find that those tendencies are often transposed in relation for me, and that I love to exert my will in order to mold and craft a narrative around another person and my feelings for them. In recovery I think a lot about yearning, it’s been a constant theme in my life as of late.
