i think it is reasonable and maybe even righteous to be sad sometimes, to be jealous about things that are unjust, to let grudges build up until all you can do is cry about it. things are not always good and nice and easy to love. sometimes even the people you care about the most in the world will not have the words to comfort you and will do things that hurt your feelings.

i'm not a very committed person but by necessity i am committed to taking care of myself forever. i hope it's not just me myself and i but that would be okay too.
