I suppose you have to be a poet to be on good terms with grief, and I suppose if melancholy moods would be embraced and celebrated artists and other people would not need artificial means of escape. You cannot get through life without experiencing loss. The only answer is not to love, and if you are lucky enough to have been born a sociopath , and there are many out there, then you can always be happy. I am ok when I feel sad. If I did not feel sad about the things that require it I would not feel normal. I, being a woman, as I put it, as some others put it I am more like a dude, wallow in Rilke and have a good cry often even if its just over the fact that I still can not take care of my gray as my hair is still too dry from the change of climate... and I felt grief, real grief. The kind of grief that wrenches you into a pretzel and you wonder if you will ever straighten out ... and I lived through it ... and here I am...
