Myth I need to stop believing NOW:

[azurelunatic]

If I show Darkside that he is capable of hurting me, he will withdraw completely from me so as to avoid causing me more pain.

Only if I let him, would he. Only if I don't show him that the joy of his company is far greater than the pain he causes, and is a far greater joy than the pain of being alone is a pain. (And the pain of being alone is pretty damn bad.)

Good point.

(Am noting the icon.)

One of the things I like about you. You understand and notice the subtle symbolism.

You too: you picked up, without my having to say anything, that my Spock icon is generally for issues of division, of barriers between people, and also for that connection that abides beyond even death.
