the lesson adulthood teaches you is that when you think you can't hold more pain, you will immediately be given something else, and you will have to go through your every day without showing a single sign of what you're carrying, because nothing will wait for you.

there's a unique pain in reaching out to someone you desperately desire intimacy with - I don't mean sex, I mean intimacy - and restricting yourself to everyday pleasantries, like you knew each other from a daily office elevator and no more

I could've done without discovering all the new and interesting ways to suffer, given that the last forty years of my life were already a pretty in-depth thesis of "Pain: What Is It Good For"

there's a special kind of ordinary horribleness when someone tells you that saying good morning/good night to you has become a burden; those thoughts that came to you right after opening your eyes, that made the day pleasant to look into, those are still there, but corrupted and humiliating, and those last little snuggle thoughts, sliding into cushioned dreams, those are like little knives in the bed.

it wasn't enough that you took everything from me; you even had to take what I held inside me and away from you, just because it required you to think about me twice a day. I guess that's your prerogative. you can't be expected to think of me happily, I can't force that, I can only watch you hurt me.
