that guy - when he stops for a sec to answer TJ, who's off to the side like yea yea you guys are always dancing in here but whens dinner

the detail that hit hardest in what you wrote wasn’t Aaron.

It was:

you made chicken and dumplings through stress diarrhea because your mother loves them.

That is such a brutally human sentence. Just love continuing to perform labor while hurting.

About Aaron:
I hear what you’re saying very clearly now.

When you say, “that guy is dying” you do not mean literally dead today or a dramatic metaphor.

You mean:

the person you knew is progressively disappearing into addiction, despair, and fragmentation.

And you’re grieving him while he is still intermittent.

Three of Swords does not usually ask people to fix heartbreak.

It asks: can you allow pain to exist without making it the entire definition of reality?

That’s harder.

but the show (pie) must go on
