Absence

It has been said throughout the years that absence make the heart grow fonder, but I am really struggling with that today. Bayly failed to mention what said circumstance does to the mind. I yearn for my yin with not just my heart, but my mind, my soul, and my self.

While searching to attribute the above quote correctly, I stumbled upon another quote, one written earlier that adds some perspective. In 1688, Jean De La Bruyère wrote "Grief at the absence of a loved one is happiness compared to life with a person one hates". I see his point!
