“We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone.”
Orson WellesThere’s something about lying in bed that always makes me feel particularly nostalgic. I want to apologize to the people I’ve hurt and reestablish connections with the people I’ve lost. Then the next day I can go back to not caring.

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted
And then who the hell was I?
I'm breaking at the britches
At the end of all your lines
Who will love you?

“The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning.”
Ivy Baker PriestI can’t believe I wasted four months in that toxic environment. I’ve become such a snob.
It was nice to know you for the time I did and hey, if I don’t come home you can have my things, I won’t be needing them.
“The bad stuff is easier to believe.”
Running away from your problems is much more effective than people give it credit for.
