For some reason, this line comes to mind - the title of Sallinger's story, when I think about love. It seems like all the “user’s manuals” for love relationships have been studied. But the heart still wants to love. And nothing can be done about this. We throw a person out of our lives, mentally push him beyond a line known only to us. “He’s not mine, he’s someone else’s - not from there, not there, not about anything!” - we almost shout. But he is from there, and there, and definitely yours. And what about - about warm evenings at sunset together, about tender words, timid touches, passionate hugs. And then - about a quarrel, throwing everything that came to hand, blocking accounts, erasing “from memory”... But what can I say, this person is about the whole world, about a significant period of life spent with you. It was a full-fledged time, since emotions, both good and bad, had the right to be in your life. And they were all connected to this friend. Living your life fully without rejecting what comes into it is great wisdom. No time, no situation, no person can be perfect. You yourself are not an angel. Because we all go through our own personal path of experience, picking our flowers along the way. Like on a path in the forest, you may come across berries, and modest forest flowers, and pine cones, and a poisonous mushroom. But this is not a reason to reproach yourself every time: “Why did I go into this damned forest!” There is no forest, and everything that exists in it is completely organic. This is your vision of the forest, its inhabitants, yourself in it, it can be constructive or destructive. For a holistic feeling and acceptance of life, you need to try to live carefully and sensitively every day. Take a break, take a closer look and listen to your inner feelings. Are you feeling good this day, how do current events affect your mood and state? Should you trust your loved one, and is he as beloved to you as he seems? Natural lips and green eyes can also deceive, change the reflex with a different look, different “lighting”. Or, on the contrary, they will become even closer and dearer after holistically accepting their owner into your life. With all his weaknesses and shortcomings. However, the same as yours.
