Ask Baba Yaga: How Will I Know When It’s Time to End My Ultimately Doomed Relationship?

Transcript after the jump.

Dear Baba Yaga,

How can I enjoy my wonderful relationship, knowing that it will eventually end because we want different things in life, and how will I know when it is time to say goodbye and move on to new things, despite the pain?

BABA YAGA:

)By the sea there is always the stinging salt, always the grief of what is to come, but mostly what you know — is unleashed light. But when it starts to grieve everywhere, all at once, & the cold & the blue & then the dark, then that is what you know;.
