    I’m going to comment on my own post, despite it being against the rules of propriety.

    The last time I hugged the person I still want to hug the most was in 2010. Before she died.

    It’s not that I keep a torch lit for her, but that I want to tell her all the amazing things her kids are doing. And give her a hug.

    I last hugged my parents years ago. One died in 2019 and the other passed away recently. I feel aimlessly empty thinking of all the missed opportunities and the fact I am like a bird without a warm perch now.

    There isn’t any someone I want to be hugging.

    It’s a nonsensical concept.

    Closeness…?

    you require sufficiently-related identity/ego underlying you, for that.

    People who are too different, one cannot be close with, obviously

    ( extreme case is when prejudice is between people, but the underlying principle holds much more solidly than just-that-case )

    I’m not putting this here for any “pity”: I’m putting this here so that if there’s any other person who’s in the destroy-unconscious-ignorance-no-matter-the-cost kind of life, that they can see what happens, when one keeps going.

    Eventually you reach a condition where collaboration with others still is entirely possible, but “belonging” has become gone.

    Keep going: they integrity one can earn, the conquering of one’s own unconscious-mind, it is worth it.

    Some might relate it to being a time-traveler: one’ll never fit-in, in the people one lives among, but it is itself, not any fiction thing.

    Cracking one’s unconscious is sooo far outside what “acceptable people” do, that … if you go far enough, then you … are just too different.

    Divergeance is fine, though, so long as living is fine.

    It seems this person never existed, or died without telling me beforehand. Nobody’s special.
