so you built a boat ..
The best bits of any love affair are when you are totally and completely in sync. You don’t even realize that you are, because everything is so smooth, there’s no friction, it all feels utterly right. The boat is sailing into the sunset and everything is lovely.The worst bits of any love affair are when one or the other suddenly does something completely out of sync and you hit a sandbank, the boat tips over, you fall out and you are into the ‘how could you DO that?’ and ‘what were you THINKING?’ conversations and realizing this little boat is extremely frail and you probably shouldn’t be trusting it to carry you over the seas of life at all.
So then it is down to swimming away or working together to lift the boat back into the water and sail on, both now slightly anxiously watching the horizon and each other and slowly relaxing again.
There are lots of sandbanks, and tricky currents, and whirlpools. No maps. And yet people do it all the time, build little boats together and confidently set sail, a little flotilla of boats looking for that horizon and that safe mooring.
This metaphor could need work.

One advantage to sailing alone is no-one to blame when the waters turn stormy. But also no-one to turn to. Her achievement was extraordinary.
