We haven't had any communication with each other for a while and it's given me time I needed to think. Remember when you said we should live with each other and be unhappy so we could be happy? Consider it's a testimony to how much I love you that I spent so long pouring myself into that offer, trying to make it work.But a friend took me to the most amazing place the other day .It's called the Augusteum.Octavian Augustus bulit it to house his remains. When the barbarians came, they trashed it along with everything else. The great Augustus, Romes' ture first great emperor, how could he have imagined that Rome, the whole world, as far as he was concerned, would one day be in ruins?
It's one of the quietest and loneliest places in Romes. The city has grown up around it over centuries. It feels like a precious wound, like a heartbreak you won't let go of because it hurt too good. We all want things to stay the same, David, settle for living in misery because we 're afriad of change, of things crumbling to ruins. Then I looked around in this places, at the chaos it's endured, The way it's been adapted, burned, pillaged then found a way to built itself back up again and I was reassured, maybe my life haven't been so chaotic, It's Just the world that is and the only real trap is getting attached to any of it. Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation. Even in this eternal city, the Augusteum showed me that we must always prepared for endless waves of transformation,Both of us deserve better than staying together because we're afriad well be destoryed if we don't.
