My close friends know I've been bad at breaking up with people. Calling it quits was a daunting task: Was I sure I wasn't letting go of something I shouldn't? The sequence was that I'd drift into distant and erratic behavior which drove the other person to cut ties. Half of the time I was surprised and sad. Guilt was an easy way out of self-absorption, the fact that you hadn't been paying attention. Being left commonly hooks people in the heart. Soon enough, I turned away and smiled.
Since my early adult years, I've had the most beautiful experiences in life around the times of my more significant break-ups. Friendships with creative, passionate souls like Julien and EC, who stay close to me to this date. Moments with men who reminded me of who I am and what I seek in love. This year I had my alter-ego, left the commie castle and started writing in a way I never did in the past. There're always thrills, hopes and truths to pursue in the future. Some people say it; I live it.
On a different note, I've been going through my favorite rock bands again these days. I have very diverse tastes in music, but at the end of the day I'm a rocker. Here's Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' on BBC's Peel sessions (1979). A very good version.

I think our tastes in writing are similar, but our tastes in music are definitely different.
ReplyDeleteGreat version of this song!
ReplyDeleteapparently it's the original or one of the first recorded versions of the song. the album version came later on.
