little sparrow, please stop flying into glass windows, it upsets me.

Be brave, be specific, be considerate and be proud (but never show it). It’s all metaphors and analysis and I like it that way but to find someone else who advocates this, who agrees that optimism and communication are fundamental in a relationship, is surprisingly rare. We’re human and subsequently, it’s difficult not to be an existentialist and anyone aware of our condition cannot help but be a little bit manic depressive. It’s a fact and there is comfort in it. But there are so many people that have too high opinion of him or herself which makes conversation difficult.

You have to try though, to talk, to at least try and understand because there is a chance that you’ll save someone else from bleak complacency (even if you yourself wish you were dead every day of your life) and people hurt us, and so we hurt them back and whomever tries to amend it is at threat of seeming in the wrong. No one said it wasn’t fucked up but it’s kind of important, because one day someone might appreciate you, or if you’re lucky, someone already does. Just... in the event of an infidelity, try not to kill yourself and realise their “nobility” and “dignity” is embellished in falseness. This isn’t the place for vindication and it’s time to grow up.
