Sometimes people do things because they are furious or because they are upset or because they are out for blood. And those things can hurt. But what hurts the most is when someone does something out of apathy. They don’t care about you the way they said they did back in college. They don’t care about you the way they promised to when you got married. They don’t care about you at all.

Why do we do this? Why do we undervalue things when we have them? Why is it only on the verge of losing something that we see how much we need it?

Maybe it doesn’t matter if you need someone during the everyday moments of your life. Maybe what matters is that when you need someone, they are the one you need. Maybe needing someone isn’t about not being able to do it without them. Maybe needing someone about it being easier if they are by your side.

Maybe I need the truth more than I need to hear what I want to hear. Maybe there is almost never a time when you don’t need the truth. Or maybe it’s just that you need the truth the most at the times you think you don’t want to hear it.

That’s when I fall apart. I don’t melt like butter or deflate like a tire. I shatter like glass into 1000 pieces. My heart is truly broken. And I know that even if it means it will look different, feel different, beat different.

I can’t turn around and pretend it never happened. Maybe that’s the difference between a friend and a sister: a friend can just listen to your problems in the present but your sister remembers and reminds you of everything in the past. Or maybe it’s not a difference between friends and sisters.

He had made the impossible possible. And I liked that I didn’t know his secret. It made me think that maybe other impossible things were possible. That may be all I needed was to want it badly enough and I really could have it.

This moment felt like a failure on two accounts. I thought of all those people I had seen making their way down the mountain. They seemed victorious. As I started to turn down the mountain, I knew that I would seem victorious to all of the people I would pass on the way down. It just goes to show you how alike failure and success can appear. Sometimes only you know the truth.

As I sat there waiting for the moment when they called my name, it occurred to me that this was the end of so many things and more to the point. It was the beginning of my adult life.
