Borders

As he announced his decision, we were prepared to listen and ignore but instead we understood and I was ashamed of his righteousness. This isn't the first time, neither will this be the last. I have grown up permeating in myself increasing levels of acceptance that he is of better quality ( Whatever this entails). Here he was proving it AGAIN!

Increasingly burlesque voices mistaken as audacious keep echoing the crisis of self and self-worth.  Initially it released " We do and then ask why did we do it, that's the problem". However merely humorously packaging a sad story doesn't justify a lost opportunity and misused innocence. It tickles me tragically that several expensive steps later we still are at " Guessed this could help but...." .

I strongly suggest losing. I am now an ardent supporter of falling and failing, but failing at things that matter. While it kills it brushes a spark to awaken the Phoenix. It burns bad but the warmth helps fight the cold.

"Being miserable" is a state, we've both been there, survived  that but settling for "Being Ok" is pathetic.

My fingers try to find the keys in the dark amidst the snores, when I am lost in the two examples. I remember sitting in a filthy train with her across from me, not speaking a word and allowing me to blatantly admit my misery. She didn’t try and I can never thank her enough but now I envy her misery. Now I feel like a loser and have told her the same a thousand times only for her to calmly deny my reasons. We don’t talk that often anymore, it’s beyond our control. We often cry together though and it’s our new normal. I hate that our reasons aren’t the same.

It’s so logical/necessary to choose one over the other but we always crave for either the lost option or imagine an esoteric arrangement. “Option A is not available, let’s kick the shit out of option B”, the lady said during the commencement speech and like a kid incapable of letting go of a ridiculous wish I only pretended to have understood. To be fair, I actually did understand. However, I am so incapable of learning from it or putting it to practice that I conveniently chose to have not understood it.

Between Halpert and C.K , I fail miserably everyday. Oh no  Selena can’t win!
