Do you ever feel like nothing?

Its end tines I suppose; many of my friends broke up with their respective partners in the last week -including the one driving me around at the moment- ... long term stuff; years. And the semester ended. It feels empty. I’m not suffering but I know they are and it’s bizarre seeing such amount of nothing, not happening anymore.

Some days. But those days pass.

It’s unfortunate, but the thing about relationships is that you’ll either spend the rest of your life with someone or you won’t. Everything else will one day end, too.

If you think about it, all but * at most* one relationship will end for each person.

Empathy/Sympathy is a complex emotion and one that takes a while to learn how to harness. It’ll get better with time and you’ll start to be able to learn how to support those who need it and how to look past the events after they’ve unfolded. But it is definitely an uncomf or table situation for the first few times you’re in it.

Buy a cheap junkyard motor, rebuild it.  There is no better therapy than wrenching if you're a gear head.

It’s just a bizarre feeling. I know tomorrow I’ll wake up as if nothing had happened, and... that’s OK.

Well, now it’s clean up time for them I guess. At least it was after finals.

Do you ever feel....like a plastic bag....?

Yeah, it’s complicated... I really don’t feel like I’m in a position to help them a lot.

I never really touched that stuff, somebody else always would who was way more knowledgeable than I.  Motors and wrenching in general are my anti drug.

Right now the big project is the R170... and that’s gonna take a while because it is in a different continent. Though I’ve toyed with the idea of getting a Fox body here. But they sell for a lot of money on this side of the border for some reason... 10-15k !

Find something that’ll take an ls swap, do a turbo 5.3. cheap, but reliable.

E46, etc.

One other thing, based on the picture you cast and the somber mood.

I usually ensure I have more than enough to do, keeps me from feeling that way most of the time.

Losing a long term partner sucks, but generally someone better replaces them. They may not see it now, but things will get better.

I finally got m y degree in 2005 after several years of working full time, taking JC classes and ducking around. I had already worked myself into a position and salary that would normally require a degree...so after graduating nothing materially changed. Fell into a mild depression for a couple few weeks then settled out. I also was bored. After years of having to do something , I suddenly had free time and nothing to fill it with...
