Painful tentacles

Found this movie from "Velvet Gold Mine" and found that it is not only related to glam rock, there are too many entries to describe it, but they can't be summed up completely. It's so good, from the plot to the music, I'm beyond reproach, I'm deeply shaken, and I've revisited it over and over again.
This happened half a year ago, and today it suddenly broke into my sight again, which is related to the progress of my life. In half a month, I will leave the city where I have lived for seven years, and say goodbye to everything I am familiar with, say goodbye to my friends, and say goodbye to my boyfriend.
There is an animation in the movie: Men and women were originally connected, and it was because of God's thunder that they split into two different individuals, and in addition to the connective body such as men and women, there were also men and women.

Seems like an interpretation of homosexuality, but I prefer to see it as an interpretation of love. If there is a person when you imagine separating from him (her), you feel heartache and reluctance, then it is love. At this moment, I also understood that vulgar and vulgar saying that love can make a person whole is also true.

Wanting to love and be loved is an instinct, a natural instinct.

I used to imagine myself as a mollusk. Remove the human-shaped shell, and there is a large circular water cover outside. It can change its shape and can also produce tentacles. Once I come into contact with others, an invisible A connection is formed between us. Then the tentacles become thicker when approaching, and thin or even cut off when they leave. Because that's part of my body, too, and it's painful to break.

This explains why I feel heartache when parting, it turns out that my tentacles are broken!
