This is what Creative Non-Fiction...Oh no. no no no. This is what Creative Non-Fiction does. It's "creative." ALL CNF is exaggerated. I think more people need to read up on theories of the genre a little bit, rather than listening to Oprah's tantrums about how she's such a victim because she doesn't know how to read CNF. I wouldn't doubt that Oprah is the narcissist here. Read _The Things They Carried_. Read Creative Non-Fiction that discusses what Creative Non-Fiction is, and how there's a lot of "Creativity" going on for the sake of the story, if you don't want to read the critical articles. My Creative Writing professor in college even had a name for the small lies you told in creative essays to get the point across, or to sacrifice menial details to emphasize the bigger truth of yourself or the story: "Big C, little nf." You need to know what it is before you psychoanalyze the authors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-71885062810257977762010-11-16T10:24:57.404-08:002010-11-16T10:24:57.404-08:00Zoe said... aren't we talking about two kinds ...<b><i>Zoe said... aren't we talking about two kinds of love here?</i></b><br /><br />what i meant was everyone assumes that someone who could see inside your head, where there is that perfect kind of connection, would be "the one". having that connection might bring comfort to existence, knowing that there are others who think and feel just like you, but it might not be love. to me love is acknowledgment and celebration of something outside of ourselves that isn't us, without the need to possess it or turn into it.<br /><br />if there is not enough space, you're like two bodies with one mind. it's either a mental death for one, or a power struggle, and either way an eventual end to the relationship.<br /><br />to borrow medusa's analogy, i think a perfect love would be where you're in a high rise building that has many stories and spend time together on the same floor but also time apart on different ones. yet we romanticize the merging death kind of love, a narcissistic feast where each psychologically cannibalizes the other. <br /><br />well maybe this is why i'm not married. too many floors to explore - and i'm vegetarian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628748600098131100.post-37881991689737677802010-11-16T09:31:21.688-08:002010-11-16T09:31:21.688-08:00Medusa said...

Safe to say most of us have probably caused our alone-ness inadvertently and you're alone standing next to your best friend at times.<br /><br />I agree with P-Mod and his list of crimes as well.<br /><br />Did it ever occur to anyone here to search for said "love" and "honor" at one point in time? I've seen two people supposedly "in love" before, I know what it looks like and it looks really nice. I appreciated seeing it and was even jealous of it at one point.
