P.A.R.T

"You cannot compare the present experience to a past experience," someone said, "Only to a memory of the past experience, which is part of the present experience."

So on the one hand, it isn't a question of getting over it, because it is unquestionably gone. You are, in a very real sense, already over it.

On the other hand, it is unquestionably part of Now, living and breathing in one of your more vital organs. You will, in a very real sense, never get over it.

Which is why there is a difference between dealing with and getting over. One is a ridiculous conundrum. The other is something you damn well better do soon or you will continue to compromise the future experience.
