Thinking of you, Aellyce.
You do have magnificent museums in NYC and it makes me happy to think of you visiting them. I have fond memories of visits to a few, notably the Met. We have good ones here, too, and I've found it soothing to visit them.
I also know what you mean about a relationship. Not a nun here, either, though my life feels like it sometimes. Sigh.
The sadness doesn't really go away, I'm afraid. It's just that it starts to feel different.
My thoughts are with you, Aellyce. Big hugs.
