But I will ask, how was the journey?

Still unsure.  I'll have to get back to you on that. 

Does the destination justify the journey, does the journey excuse the destination?  I don't know.

No.  Existentialism 101. 

Or nihilism 101.

I feel ya. Lynch decided to erase the show. 

I enjoyed the ride but I think I'm done with Lynch now. Final dossier holds no interest.

"The journey is more important than the destination."

In this situation or always?

Last night I was in denial. This morning I am at anger. I suspect later today will be bargaining, then depression, and hopefully one day will be acceptance.

I'm so agitated and confused. Did my best friend just die or did I just make a new best friend?

And before you start giving me that "you just don't understand art" stuff, please just don't.  Art is to be interpreted and processed by the individual. That is what I am doing.

I feel like a kid who was promised Disney World.  Went on a loooooong, silent car ride, down many dark roads, stopped in a motel along the way, had to listen to my parents having sex in the next room, woke up the next day in a different motel, got in a different car, set off again to Disney World. Stopped at an overly spacious diner, watched dad get into it with some locals, got back in the car and started driving again.  Stop at auntie Carrie's house.  Don't know who that random, bloated dead guy on the couch is.  (damn that had to smell bad) Back in the car again, much loooooong driving. But all of this is okay, because I'm going to Disney World!

And finally, after all that, we get to our destination.  But instead of Disney World, I'm looking at the world's biggest ball of twine.

WTF Dad?!

Yes, Orpheus' descent into Hades to retrieve Eurydice was always already doomed. One glance back, and she's gone.

No. This is not nihilism. That is a different animal. Nihilism wouldn't include  Occultism, Native religious mythology, etc . . . Solipsism maybe.

It's a life lesson

I've got your back, Caoimhin. You speak truth. Which does not mean I am not gutted by the end, but I recognize that it was beautiful, and expectable.

But perhaps not a lesson to always be taken as fact.  Take it as you need to take it.  The glass is neither half full or half empty.  It is merely a glass of something and one can either drink it or refuse it, depending on what they need at that time. If its half a glass of a lovely wine, it is half empty because that means I need to think about getting up to get more.  If it is a glass of creamed corn, then it is half full because I still have half a glass of grossness to try to consume and not barf up.

The journey, the destination, they are not mutually exclusive nor mutually inclusive.

Well, if this destination ruined your journey, then I'm sorry. Hopefully you won't discredit the many weeks spent on this forum. I'm happy you were along for the ride even if you end up deciding the destination wasn't worth it.

Oh no, nothing like that.  I'm not in the "this all sucked" phase.  I'm still processing and trying to figure it out.  Probably over-analyzing my own stance and feelings. Nothing is ruined, but at this moment, nothing is made better. Giving it time.  Going through my grief stages. 

It should be noted that my grief is not due to things not ending the way I wanted or expected. I think it's more because a) it's ended (maybe?), b) the "ending" was so confusing to me, c) I will never get to visit Disney World, and/or d) I don't know. I'm just sad.

I am very conflicted.

I'm glad you were here too.  🙂

I didn't even realize about "detective" until MJ pointed it out

BTW, got learn another new word today.  Solipsism. 

Never a dull moment.  🙂
