#separation

[stillhere-erehllits]

This a a reminder to not fall victim to the sunk-cost fallacy. Just because you invested time and energy into something, does not mean you should indefinitely waste more time and energy on it, if you decide it’s not what you want anymore. This goes for anything, from books, to relationships, to jobs, to hobbies, etc.

If it’s not serving you anymore, move on.

I love you, just like that, though I’m not hopeful. This doesn’t prevent me from loving you. I love you the way I love certain memories. Sometimes I think our life together was more of a dream than something we actually experienced. And on top of that I’m feeling like I lost you. I’ve lost you, though perhaps I never even had you. And the worst thing is I know I’ll never win you over.

Everywhere in these days men have, in their mockery, ceased to understand that the true security is to be found in social solidarity rather than in isolated individual effort. But this terrible individualism must inevitably have an end, and all will suddenly understand how unnaturally they are separated from one another. It will be the spirit of the time, and people will marvel that they have sat so long in darkness without seeing the light.

Separation II, 1896

Literate man, civilized man, tends to restrict and to separate functions, whereas tribal man has freely extended the form of his body to include the universe.

I suffered from this separation as if it were hell and yet what I have experienced with you during these three months seems irreplaceable to me. Kissing you breathless would save everything.

MLB Femslash February 2025: Marigami

Day 5: Marinette and Kagami (Separation; Iris)

Similar to the Adrienette moments from Revolution and Representation episodes (5.23, 5.24), Marinette and Kagami make their slow dance together in the End Year School party. And it's their last dance together for the two girls. After the ballet, Kagami must go to London (under Tomoe's ask). That's why Marinette is slighty crying.

This draft is made for the @mlbfemslashfebruary event.

The passionate man seeks possession; he seeks to attain being. The failure and the hell which he creates for himself have been described often enough. He causes certain rare treasures to appear in the world, but he also depopulates it. Nothing exists outside of his stubborn project; therefore nothing can induce him to modify his choices. And having involved his whole life with an external object which can continually escape him, he tragically feels his dependence. Even if it does not definitely disappear, the object never gives itself. The passionate man makes himself a lack of being not that there might be being, but in order to be. And he remains at a distance; he is never fulfilled. [...] Though the passionate man inspires a certain admiration, he also inspires a kind of horror at the same time. One admires the pride of a subjectivity which chooses its end without bending itself to any foreign law and the precious brilliance of the object revealed by the force of this assertion. But one also considers the solitude in which this subjectivity encloses itself as injurious. Having withdrawn into an unusual region of the world, seeking not to communicate with other men, this freedom is realized only as a separation. [...] The passionate man is not only an inert facticity. He too is on the way to tyranny. He knows that his will emanates only from him, but he can nevertheless attempt to impose it upon others. He authorizes himself to do that by a partial nihilism. Only the object of his passion appears real and full to him. All the rest are insignificant. Why not betray, kill, grow violent? [...] Thus, maniacal passion represents a damnation for the one who chooses it, and for other men it is one of the forms of separation which disunites freedoms. It leads to struggle and oppression. A man who seeks being far from other men, seeks it against them at the same time that he loses himself.

Life sometimes separates people so that they can realize how much they mean to each other.
