"But why? Why do you do these things to yourself knowing that they will bring you to your demise faster? I do not understand this way of living."

"There is no way I can make you understand. I choose to drink and smoke and lie about because I know no other way to make the exquisite pain of life hurt less badly. The brief happy shiny moments I feel when I do these things seem worth it, to me."
