Finding the balance

The feeling of being replaced, or replacable. It's funny how capable and empowered with the ability to choose we can feel in our stronger moments and how incapable and disempowered we can feel in our weaker ones. There is only one of us in all the universe and we are unique and special, yet it is true how replacable we are. Is love being courageous enough to truly give one's all, to commit completely knowing that it will not last forever? That people don't last forever, nor do feelings. That feeling when you recognize yourself or something about yourself in another. That feeling when you just get someone and their intentions are recognizable, whether or not they ever come to fruition. That feeling when you understand what a person is trying to get at even though they don't explicitly come out and say it. It's funny what motivates people. When you sit and listen, you'll notice a lot. How often do we gift each other the opportunity to just sit and listen though? Or act spontaneously? Or not feel the need to fill the silence up with sounds or distractions or small talk. How people develop and the things that give their lives meaning are interesting. If we keep digging th things that we bring to the surface are very interesting. Beneath the layers, digging up bones, resurrecting memories of a love that's dead and gone. Here's some ideas for charaters: 1. all small talk, doesn't like to get too deep or think too much about anything. fills the silence with meaningless chatter or pointless distractions that ultimately lead to an exisence spent finding new ways to distract herself. 2. the too deep thinker, who wonders why and is on an ineitable search for meaning and depth. Enjoys deep, existental conversations about 3. the lifelong leaner, always wanting to learn and master the next great thing without ever taking the time to foster meaningful releationships so the work and art is ultimately very technical but devoi of emotion. Finding the balance.
