Why do I come here anymore?

Why do I come here anymore?

I'm in a relationship.


I have Facebook.
I have Reddit.

I have friends.

I have friends?
Had?

I'm an eternal doubter.

I don't think I was ever a good friend to anyone in my life.


I wouldn't know where to begin.

I never got the manual or the quick start guide,or for that matter, for life itself.


My wife has caught me with tears brimming.
Looking at her.

I find her beauty too much to take in.

Even as an abstract concept, she is pure sensory overload.
She understands.

She comforts me by making a funny face.
By making beauty a momentary concept. 
By replacing it with something silly.Childish.

Its a secret only we both share.

So.
Why do I come here anymore?
 
Perhaps to pose questions to myself.

And perhaps to shed enough to lighten my existence.

  1. love is a good thing but hard to take in - in a world that's teaching us to grow more cynical to protect our fragile selves, the experience is polar opposite. i hope it ages like wine.

  3. It is.
    Not too public.
    Not too anonymous.

  5. Same questions here...
    well....
    Some friends still reside here.
    Or they've moved but still drop by
    to share some news,
    leave a message
    or a forwarding address...
    anything to keep in touch

    we never forget those we share whatever with
