You get to embrace this human experience! Feel the sadness and appreciate that a piece of literature, a story and an imagination, was so powerful it punched you in the gut!
I feel feelings from books and movies all the time. One show I was really loving just came to an end and I’ll probably feel those residual feelings for a bit too. The longing for the characters, the looking up fan art, the thinking of the what-ifs.
Then, in a week or two, I’ll have moved on. Live in the sadness and feel the longing now because in a few weeks real life will come back.
