taliendo

My grandfather died last monday, and the week was full of basic funeral stuff. Anyone who has suffered a loss of someone close knows what I'm speaking of. . .

Anyway, I went to Columbus this weekend to spend sometime with my friends and just to get away from the family and everyone grieving and everything. (I'm very introverted when it comes to stuff like that, and I simply needed some time away.) The short end of it all goes like this, I ended up having the most amazing sex while I was away. It was with a friend that I had never been intimate with and my emotions were on over load anyway and it was just amazing.

I got to thinking about the part in High Fidelity were Laura has lost her father and tells Rob that he can either have sex with her or burn her with cigarette butts so that she can feel something other than the pain that she can't escape.

Having then experienced this, I can tell you that it changed the way that I thought about the loss that I had experienced. Some how, by distancing myself from the situation for a short time my perspective was changed such that it just didn't hurt so much anymore. I could look at things with reason and not so much emotion; in fact after the fact, I was so emotionally drained that I didn't feel much of anything anymore except exhaustion.

I guess that I just wanted to share, and see if any other TFPers out there had experienced anything similar. . .
