at some point your need to be understood becomes pathetic you are not the main character in a book who can present a neat narrative of your behavior to everyone you meet and know you don’t need to offer excuses and explanations to everyone you know you don’t owe them that you can just be and they don’t all owe you that much time and energy to consume and remember that whole narrative either. I do think this is why social media becomes additive bc it’s taps into the desire to be seen and understood but it’s not going to work like you can lay it out so perfectly and someone will still be like tl;dr and I hate your stupid face and then you’ll just feel even more rejected

"we were born alone & we die alone" you delivered yourself during birth? built all the roofs that have ever given you shelter? sown the wheat in your bread?? weaved the clothes on your back??? wrote all the books youve ever read and the music youve ever listened to????? who made the literal bed youre going to die in - you, all alone?

“Oh, you know, you realize that grief is perhaps the last and final translation of love. And I think, you know, this is the last act of loving someone. And you realize that it will never end. You get to do this, to translate this last act of love for the rest of your life. And so, you know, it's– really, her absence is felt every day.

“And ever since I lost her, I felt that my life has been lived in only two days, if that makes any sense. You know, there's the today, where she is not here, and then the vast and endless yesterday where she was, even though it's been three years since. How many months and days? But I only see it in — with one demarcation. Two days — today without my mother, and yesterday, when she was alive. That's all I see. That's how I see my life now.”
