"Why is it the same thing over and over again, all I want is new problems, is that too much to ask?" - is a line I scream often. And not silently. I feel it too deeply.

Similar abysses make me feel like I'm walking in circles. Like I imagined the growth, the improvement, the stitching of my shattered soul. It's not supposed to be this hard. But after, when I have had time to think, I notice the keyword. It's feel. Perhaps, it's not real, not the whole truth.

I'm sorry, Marcia. I think your friend is in a bit of a bubble at the moment, and doesn't want to accept reality. I'm with you, we should be able to say what we want. The other party can get upset, of course, but then we communicate, grow, accept, and move on together. Not ghost.

I wish you all the best in your journey of letting go.
