When is the last time two separate things that you might have heard, seen, or engaged with in some other way – spaced by many years – came together in ways that were unexpected or surprising?

This contains two elements. A quantum romance. And how a book, specifically The Vertical Interrogation of Strangers by Bhanu Kapil, captured my attention and imagination.

This short segment inspires the question: What is the thing or are the things we are not giving ourselves permission to say to others or to ourselves? If we had to decide at least one question or statement we were too afraid to say to ourselves, what would that utterance be?

Welcome back to part 2 of exploring Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen

and exploring the question: what is it really saying to us about what we need to consider in terms of creating intimacy with others? Also, the much bigger question: What was the soil, the surround, that grew a show like Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen into existence?

Here within this part 2, I dive into answering these questions. Again, be warned, there are spoilers. If you want to watch a bit of or all of the short Netflix series then come back, please....be my guest.

Here is part 2!

Within this episode I share my insights about the link between the short Netflix series Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen and our current surround of human intimacy and relationships.

Also, to place this into a larger context that I don't quite cover in either of these, as humans we have been concerned about who we lay with and play with since the beginning of time. Seek out any well preserved letters from a previous time, any historical books on any topic about humans getting together (like the Anne De Courcy's The Husband Hunters American Heiresses Who Married into the British Aristocracy), or odd stories like the wealthy man who passed as black to eventually marry a black woman he fell in love with (look it up, and also, there are more than a few families with similar stories tucked within their family archives)....thus, our anxieties about who we will lay with, play with, and mate with is nothing new (and of course, you know this already!).

I hope you enjoy what I have shared about Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen and its commentary about where we are at as humans with relationships.

Beware, there are spoilers. Here is Part 1!
