We are on a break

They all came and left in the same vein. I waited.
I don’t blame them, they had their reasons. Except, the problem with me is that everything affects me much more than the other person.
The problem with every other person is that they are as selfish as they should be.
I am really drained out. And unwilling [...]

Mike is the most self reassured person i have ever met.

Never again.

HB told me to write my life story once. He told me, this should help you make peace with yourself. I am afraid of that exercise. I know for a fact, that at the end of that piece, typed without a single pause, will leave me broken, shattered. This is my redemption, being able [...]
