I was going to add this to a previous post
about identity, but I felt it needed to be addressed all on its own. I realize
having an identity crisis and living a life can run parallel, but I want to
look at just existing. The first thing that made me think of this was when I
had released our pet turtle. I'm not sure what bugs me more, letting her go or
knowing that part of my routine has changed for good. I say that because when I
would put the dogs to bed, I would then feed the turtle. It made me think about
emotional attachments to animals and people. I find it hard to have any
emotional attachments to people and animals, but it almost goes without saying
the difficulty of living my life without some kind of attachment to the ones I
love can make me feel very lonely. In a way it’s like a double edged sword when
it comes to the ones you care about.
