The job of the cosmos is to shut us all down, it seems. But it's beautiful too.
It's nearly impossible to be happy in the moment sometimes because we're (and here, i speak for the introspective) too busy balancing the present with the overly analytical.
Maybe it's not our fault. Maybe it's strictly nuero-chemical. ("ok, here comes that neg reaction again. switch receptors to BLOCK. ahh, that's better...")
Or maybe it's the sum total of all our upbringing and experience.
I dunno. But I feel it.
"I am happy. I deserve to be happy for cryin' out loud. I'm a nice fucking person. I don't try to screw anyone!"
(...how easy it slips into the need for justification...)
Loving with detachment isn't the answer though.. we can do that. I mean, I really love Chicken Saag but it's only temporarily fulfilling.
But I know what you mean.
LOVE, real LOVE is positively overwhelming. It snakes and vines from your heart through every bend and fissure of your body until it either blossoms in flowers or shreds with thorns. And when we're reflexively second guessing our every move anyway... I mean, how do we even function sometimes?
Again, I dunno.
But, I guess I'd rather be shredded and bleeding rather than to walk away from anything potentially beautiful with detachment and forgetfullness. And if i gotta fight the cosmos for it, well fuckin' bring it.

hey how about having a comfort zone within which one lives and works and sleeps and shits, if you will and doing something different if one feels fed up, enabling an expansion of the comfort zone, making one's world a bigger place to live. like a whole new perspective of life, only not but just bigger. and better!?B)

I hope you had a good birthday(must have gone by now) and that you don't slam the door to your heart completely. but i can relate. i feel like locking the door and throwing away the key and i worry im not strong enough to filter out the takers

Do you know, one of my best mates is a 'giver' like you, and often gets taken advantage of. Coincidentally, his birthday is in two weeks as well.
