hmph, well that was heartbreaking in all the ways imaginable, but its probably for the best. i wish things were different, oh god how i wish they were different. i can’t be selfish though, i’m glad you’re okay. i just have to keep telling myself that. you’re okay, you’re okay, you’re okay.
i’m not okay though.

“Would you say you’re a good judge of character? Do you have a great memory? Not easily tricked? Can you clearly and persuasively express yourself in writing? Congratulations, you’re probably a depressed sack of shit!”

“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
