Touch

Sloane considered her tendency toward sarcasm. It was unnerving, really, when people didn’t banter back at you. You actually had to pay attention to the things you said.

Many times, as people grow or change, or hurt us, the energy that was flowing gets confused and trapped. Especially in the case of loss, where the energy doesn’t have anywhere tangible to move toward. We can become very sick by storing up outdated energy. Cord cutting isn’t always about severing completely from someone, but it is about separating ourselves off from the iteration of the relationship that no longer enriches our life. It’s a ceremony, really. And a difficult one. But it’s tremendously important.”
