i don’t habitually miss people…

it’s not something that i do on purpose, but it just doesn’t seem to be a piece of the dominant emotions located within my limbic system.

this is why i have a ponderous time believing that absence factually makes the heart grow fonder…

because it seems to fully contradict the whole “out of sight, out of mind” phrase that we have all grown to regurgitate after every single break up that we endure.

so does the lack of something really increase your craving for it?

or does that distance simply make you care less?

i have had my fair share of “liaisons”…

and unfortunately for me, most of them haven’t been located within my desired driving radius.

but of course, we do what we need to do for our social affections, right?

therefore, i have teetered frequently between pining for them incessantly after not seeing them often enough, to slowly becoming accustomed to the vacancy…

and that isn’t a comfort that i prefer to indulge in.

i mean, i know myself…

i get sick of seeing someone relatively quickly.

yet that doesn’t necessarily mean that my feelings for them dissipate…

and that also doesn’t mean that i need or want to constantly spend every moment with them either.

but in order for anything to survive and gain longevity, there needs to be a balance…

and too much time apart and too much time together is presently not where the equilibrium lies.

therefore, i firmly believe that consistency is a crucial factor in making any progress in the development of your relationships…

so hold me close, tiny dancer…

and then kindly get out of my face.

but only for a little while…
