Meriwether Lewis's last words were "I am not a coward, but I am so strong. So hard to die." I don't doubt that it is, but it cannot be much harder than being left behind.

This is like reading a middle school book report...

love a Twilight reference LOL

"Don't do the next thing just so you can keep doing the next thing. Do the next thing because it honors God and testifies of His goodness and the goodness of your life to your neighbor."

"Life will inevitably crush you at one point or another, and your response to that suffering will testify to something.... When those times come, your obligation is to look toward others as witnesses of God's goodness, to remember your responsibilities to care for others, and to remember that you are always a witness, whether you want to be or not." OUCH.

this keeps getting more and more toxic...

I never took any chances.

You were a realist.

I'm a cynic. And a cynic is a romantic that's too scared to hope.

"This is my problem. I don't know how to talk along the surface of things, but I also don't want to unearth the ugly stuff over and over again for people who are just passing through my life. It's depleting. Like every time I dole out a kernel of my history to someone who's not going to become a fixture in my life, a piece of me gets carried away. You can't un-tell someone your secrets." FELT.
