New love without pain

This article is published in number 17 of Vanity Fair on newsstands until April 25, 2023

Let’s stay for a moment on the scenario you are proposing. A story ends and one begins immediately afterwards, without recovery times, periods of recollection and reworking, as if closing a relationship meant slamming a door, giving a sponge, the tooth removed and the pain away. It seems absurd but sometimes it happens, and I would like to be so mature and free from moral conditioning that I don’t necessarily consider it wrong. The narration of great emptiness and great suffering is certainly the most popular, but maybe it doesn’t belong to everyone, and there are those who experience new enthusiasms as a medicine for old pains. Good for them, who are we to judge? (Let me be clear that I struggle, exactly like you). Then there is a second scenariothe meaner and more difficult one to swallow: when after a week they are already with another man or another, sorry to say but often they were there already from the week before.
