why does love have to hurt so much. if you feel so sad why give up, why let go, why cause so much pain to both ends?

gee, thanks anonymous. I really love it when strangers ask these questions without knowing the full spectrum of events and information.

of course we dont know the full spectrum, but we ´ve seen part of your love and we really feel childish about it :)
The best,

I'm sorry, I've actually been getting 'hate mail' and also a lot of comments like 'love always wins! just love' when things are always more complicated than that. We're real, with honest and complex problems and I feel that sometimes strangers get angry with me/us because the story ended before they thought it was going to. Breaking up sucks enough, let alone people saying whatever is on the top of their heads that make me feel even more awful and heartbroken.

understand, I would feel as furious as you If I were you. Im the oposite to "ifyouloveeachothereverythingi´llbefiguredoutandyou´llbehappytogetherforever";that´s why I said "childish"; if things worked like that in real life, everything would be just wishing instead of living,randomness,making desitions, context, failings.
Some times I feel, people think they own your story a little bit. Even if you share part of your life and people giving their opinion is a fact,stop explaning, even to me; it seems that it is making the process even harder.
I lived a long distance love; it´s moody. One minute evertythigng is posible, the following one, there´s nothing else to do adn it fades..
Because life is not about love only. The result is more than the sum of its parts. Make art, make art with life minus love. Make art with the other parts in life which are not love, put them togehter in a different way, walk the sadness, eat it in a fish; be unpleasant if you need to, fuck me off cause Im no one, Im nobody and-not but- I wish you the best.

thank you for your comment - it's such a relief to hear it, really.

Sometimes I want to say to people on flickr and other platforms "if you think that love should always win, thengofuckingwinitforme". Sometimes, it's frustrating. The relationship was a massive part of our lives, but other things in our lives became heavier and I so I made a responsible choice. people don't like that so much.

I will make things again, whether they be in my fish, in my dancing steps, or my thesis.

thank you, I don't know who you are, mar, but thank you. I really mean it. I wish you all bests, yes, all of them
