9 Women [Modular stories]

“It won’t pass quickly, but it will pass. You have to look deep inside yourself and maybe you’ll understand. The truth is, you want to be loved unconditionally and unconditionally. Unconventional and unrestrained. As you begin to grow up, you wish to experience a love full of poetry. That’s how you built it in your mind. With seas and sunsets, with nights under the stars and rosy dawns by a smoldering fire on the beach. And you still want ships that sail, but you don’t do well with anchors. With such and such you have clothed love, and you went to meet him. Did you know where you were going . You knew, but you wanted it so badly. Not just your body, but your mind, your soul. You knew you were the second person and that what you were attempting would lead you into a vicious cycle of grief. Plus, you’re selfish. In your life, you don’t want to play second roles. This ladder does not go down. You know it’s a love doomed. Returning to your own core, you will begin the slow – free fall. What about you, Jason? I’m sure you’re fine because you always have been. At least that’s what you tell people and that’s what you’ve convinced yourself. Everything in your life is smooth and predestined. An up-and-coming career, a wonderful family, a wonderful home surrounded by family and friends. Nice pictures. Everything in a straight line, a straight line. What happened when I stepped on the line? How did it happen, who caused it? You, me or the universe conspiring? You know your life will remain the same. So you’ll return contentedly to your isoelectric line “. [The road to redemption]
