HPD Women Are Like The Sun

Far away they are wonderful. The sun warms you, you enjoy its light. It cheers you up.

But if the sun gets too close to you or if you can't get a break from it so that it scorches you, the same sun that you appreciated will destroy you. You just cannot get too close to it.

When my ex was far away, we had great letters and deep phone conversations. When we saw each other for a weekend, it was powerful. But when we decided to make a cross country move and move in together, it was like I got too close to the sun.

I had no shade. No relief from her moods. I burned in the flames. But far away, when they are emotionally far away from you, how intense they can be. How they shine upon people.

I guess for me what happened is I did view her as the Sun, but eventually it sunk in what I was dealing with. It didn't happen over night, but over months, I began to understand both her disorder, and my addiction to it. I honestly don't believe I'd ever see a woman with HPD the same again.

Unfortunately too, so much of what seemed like the sun was just me confusing my lust with love and seeing her through rose colored glasses (glasses I'd not have worn if I found her unattractive). Yes it is hard to admit my own shallowness, but it goes hand in hand with understanding the full dynamics of the relationship.

"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun . . . " Shakespeare's famous sonnet about how ugly his girlfriend was - lmao. This is a great pun (not meaning to rhyme with sun - that would make it just awful).

I'm sorry I'm so hot.

I suppose if he talks about the eyes, he is referring to her soul?
Don't know Shakespeare or the sonnet, but it would make sense to be in love with a hot body but a cold soul.

Not that it is a good thing, but artistically speaking, it would make it tragic.

The whole sonnet goes:

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

He still loved her... he just meant that she wasn't perfect...
Love is never perfect... I think it's important for people to realize that...
Maybe HPDers especially? Since they strive so hard for perfection?

I strive for perfection also. Seems a fine trait to me.

Thanks for the sonnet. I guess that is why I do not appreciate Shakespeare.

It was really an out of place sonnet for him.
Most of his romantic things aren't so... realistic.
Romeo and Juliet, for instance, has lovers die for romance... (trying to pull familiar things)

I don't much care for love, in general, myself.
It lets me down every time, that adoration and idealism.
I don't much care for the standard. I have other things to do with my time.
Like drink tequila and go to the gym.

This piece is unique in it's lack of standard, however.
Other bits he wrote compare his lovers to Aphrodite, or some great this or that.
