Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.
Dear David, We haven't had any communication in a while, and it's given me time l needed to think. Remember when you said we should live with each other and be unhappy so we could be happy? Consider it a testimony to how much I love you that I spent so long pouring myself into that offer trying to make it work. But a friend took me to the most amazing place the other day. It's called the augusteum. Octavian Augustus built it to house his remains. When the barbarian came, they trashed it along with everything elase. The great Augustus, Rome's first true great emperor how could he have imagined that Rome the whole world, as far as he was concerned, one day would be in ruins? It's one of the quietest and loneliest places in Rome. The city has grown up around it over centuries. It feels like a precious wound like a heartbreak you won't let go of because it hurts too good. We all want things to stay same, David. Settle for living in misery because we we're afraid of change, of things crumbling to ruins. Then I looked around in this place, at the chaos it's endured the way it's been adapted, burned, pillaged then found a way to build itself backup again, and I was reassured. Maybe my life hasn't been so chaotic. It's just the world that is the the only real trap is getting attached to any of it. Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation. Even in this eternal city, the Augusteum showed me that we must always be prepared for endless waves of transformation. Both of us deserve better than staying together because we're afraid we'll be destroyed if we don't.
