The love of my life broke up with me in 1962, and for over two decades, the memories of my love for her, and my loss of her, haunted me intensely! Then one day, as I was writing a novel in 1983, I had one of the characters in it describe his feelings in a similar situation, based entirely on my OWN feelings and memories. Almost immediately after I did that, my former love seemed like nothing more than merely another girl in my past, and those intense feelings of loss have NEVER returned, even though it was 24 years ago that I wrote those paragraphs. Can anyone explain how such a dramatic and permanent turn-around could happen? And would it be likely to work the same way for other people?
Please answer that either here, or as a response to my other question... which provides some more details. I am REALLY very curious about this. Thanks!!
