b"Change is tough. New relationships shift old ones. This is for you if someone close to you is falling in love \\u2013 or changing their priorities. Maybe it\\u2019s a new spouse, maybe it\\u2019s a new job, maybe it\\u2019s a new habit or phase of their life \\u2013 whatever it is, you can\\u2019t be intimately a part of it. What you previously had is suddenly gone: and though occasionally you try to meet them in the same way on the same level \\u2013 it\\u2019s different. They\\u2019re not there with you anymore. And that hurts \\u2013 it makes you sad, and cling to the past. Maybe you don\\u2019t feel loved by them anymore. You feel separate \\u2013 like you don\\u2019t know them anymore, even though you know them best! Maybe even better than they know themselves. And yet \\u2013 they\\u2019re going through this new stage and you\\u2019re not the same part of it. If you want the blog of my reading list check out YayWithme.com later this month.
