\section{Longing is Not Always Noble}
\lettrine{L}{onging} is not always noble.
Not every impulse is sacred.
Longing has shadows, distortions, and dark twins.
Not every unfinished feeling should be romanticized.
Some forms of restlessness \textit{are} pathology.
Some forms of desire are merely appetite.
Some wounds do not reveal the structure of reality; they simply need healing.
But not all of them.
Some of the deepest motions in us are not mistakes to be corrected.
They are clues --- and sometimes, warnings.
