“The best way to get over a woman is to turn her into literature.”
-Henry Miller
And that’s why I guess I kept on writing, and writing, and writing, and writing.
To get over.
Sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn’t.
But then again, I do agree that it is the best way of getting over someone.
Why?
Because one day, you will know that you are over that person when while giving all those chronicled feelings a read, the feelings that accompanied a piece don’t come back.
Yes, you will know to whom you dedicated a certain piece, but you won’t feel anything about it anymore.
No more sadness, no more guilt, no more remorse, no more helplessness…
No more love.
You are over a person when the words you have written start to make no sense to anyone anymore. Not even to yourself.
And then you are ready to write anew.
