dragon on a string

When you have a friend that is as corrosive as acid and mean as a snake but they like you unconditionally and do your dirty work on anyone beneath the two of you at a moments notice. Usually in a workplace. The string reference is in recognition they could turn on you in a second and burn you to a crisp.

strings detached

A person with "strings detached" is essentially free; completely lacking obligations, or responsibilities. No strings attached. A possible negative consequence of fully living with strings detached is that isolation can develop in relation to others. Detachment from life in general can be crippling. Simply put, if you don't need to take part in life, and you can avoid most aspects of it, you become less involved in the unfolding of the universe and become disconnected from it in ways that can keep you from actually living life. You may actually lose part of yourself by losing part of your place in the Universe; Separating yourself from everyone and everything can make it as though you almost don't exist. Once you realize there is nowhere to hide, you begin to wonder what you are hiding from. You can unplug... but eventually you have to plug back in. The world keeps moving while you're unplugged. The "Universal One" moves on with or without you. It is possible to get left behind. Separateness can grow. It may be hard to reverse.
"I severed every string I had attached that could cause me to have to rely on myself, or have others rely on me. I cut out anything that could cause stress in my life including people and activities. My adapted "strings detached" life left little to appreciate and little to be a part of. I'm not doing what the Universe designed me to do; which is to just be, but be with everyone else being a part of all that is and all there ever will be. We're all supposed to have a part in making the future. If you aren't affecting the future, you aren't part of the present."
