HolaPapi: 'Lately, it feels like I’m carrying around a good deal of pain and sadness, and doing so is significantly hindering my world.' jpbrammer responds
Illustration: Pedro Nekoi At the end of 2019, I blew up my life because I was unhappy. My job, my city, my nine-and-a-half-year relationship , gone. I knew I would never find the version of myself that I loved if I stayed in that life.
I don’t think I could have stayed in that life. I don’t think I could have remained best friends with said friend without her knowing how I felt. And yet I’m afraid I made a mistake because of how much hurt I feel right now. How do we carry the pain? How are we supposed to push through life knowing that suffering is inevitable, that each decision we make opens one future and closes all the others? How are we supposed to make it through yet another day, fragile as we are, of being jostled around in such a chaotic reality?
Divorces, unrequited loves, complicated friendships, these are textbook “life” things. They’re probably in the board game. I don’t know. The mere concept always repulsed me so I refused to play. Going to college and having children does not register as leisure to me. It’s not very “game night with the boys.”
These are important questions. But they usually come to us in lulls, in the pauses between living, in the gaps between decisions, between events, between versions of ourselves. “Ego death,” it’s usually called. It’s the shedding of an old self to make way for the fitful emergence of a new one. Gross.
The journey itself is inevitable, and there are no exemptions. You could have all the money in the world and blast yourself off the face of the earth in a dick-shaped rocket, and the bare fact of your humanity, your aliveness, would still find you in space, under your weird cowboy hat.
