lemonade matcha

what is the thread in the human experience?
relationship.

there was a time when i would've answered "pain, significance, sex, or disappointment."  the last thing i would have thought of was relationship.  yet, each of my possible answers have an underlying origin--relationship.


i went to a birthday dinner party, tonight, which represented a diverse array of relational issues.  well, what party doesn't, right?

as wicked as i think this may be toward the person whose party it was, i was supremely relieved upon the conclusion of the soiree.  i couldn't be more disappointed with myself at what i discovered as a result.  i think that for the first time in my life, i actually hate somebody.  it's a strange sensation.  i've hated humans, as a general species, but i've never hated a particular one of them.  it's intriguing.  and exhausting!  no wonder people have major on-going anger issues.  they have hatred brewing inside of them, looking for any opportunity to escape.

it's different from what i'm akin to--rejection.  hatred doesn't desire reconciliation or a change in relationship.  it doesn't regret anything from the past.  it wants severance... and perhaps some horrific tragedy would be delightful.

i'll be honest--i'm frightened by this ability.  i think the experience of this is worse than the hate itself.

time to break the sour...
