I was reading a great article about how inertia can affect people. They're not "stuck" so much as they are staying on a trajectory that forces around them have set them on, and it takes something drastic to introduce enough energy to cause them to slow down and change direction. Losing someone like that sounds like it was the force for you. What you posted reminded me of this quote that a friend posted on FB: quote:
"Why can't we find someone!? Because of Us. Irrational fears and insecurities making an impossible task for an unsuspecting lover. Value on the material, overlooking the important, and fighting fiercely for futility. We rant daily that we desire someone to turn our world upside down, while we refuse to do anything differently ourselves. Insanity by the very definition. Going the same places, with... the same people, acting the same way. No change in our music, hobbies, food we eat, friends, schedules, or even beliefs. Then someone new offers their world and what do we do?! Feign interest. Grow uncomfortable. Then resent. Desperately clinging to a life we were already unhappy in. No compromise or appreciation. Wallowing in the sad belief that another needs to give up everything, while we sacrifice nothing. Week after week the cycle continues. If our life the way it is, has gone nowhere... when was repeating it going to go anywhere!? No one should be forced into anything, but when did humanity lose the ability to adapt, or give to another willingly?! The day we lost the ability to change, while blaming someone else for offering it, was the beginning of the end for us all. For who needs an Armageddon, when we already created our own Hell, right here, where we are?!" -- The Edge
