It makes sense to me. You and Kim were a unit. It's like the animals that mate for life (even though you weren't "mates")...when you take away one, the other keeps living, and goes on doing their animal things, but there's always something missing. I realize that the parallel isn't *exact*, but I think you get my drift.

Along with the "some of us do fine, and some flounder" thing...some of us *flourish* on change...I like to think that it's because we know that we can adapt...can count on ourselves to be ourselves, no matter the circumstances. I've started over so many times...moved to new places where I knew nobody...and always made it. I'm not the most confident person in the whole world, but I *am* an actor, and I just fake it til I make it. And I truly do crave change. I don't want my life to be "beige"...and I get that feeling from you, very strongly, as well. We just aren't beige type people. Beige = no bueno.

:o)
