when launching a space shuttle, or whatnot, there is often a brief period of time in which the meteorological and spaceflight conditions are right for takeoff. the window of desirable conditions required to successfully complete such a takeoff is often ridiculously specific, and the external world is famous for its mercurial tendencies.



forming a close relationship with another human being is like launching a space shuttle, but it is far more complicated. what sort of instruments and devices can accurately gauge a person's emotional turbulence, or predict what sort of internal changes will come? you may have to wait for older emotional ties to clear out of the way before you can attempt a takeoff, or wait until you feel independent enough to be dependent, and you cannot trust anything the other person says about their own psychological condition, because people are so easily fooled, especially by themselves. there are windows for talking, and hugging, and confessing, and each is ridiculously strict.



if i missed my window, i am just one of many who has failed to judge her own internal weather correctly. nevertheless, damn the conditions.
