“ Silence has always been my default mode—my best defense against the rest of the world. ”

~ Matthew Quick
And I still love you in my own fucked-up way. I miss you, I really do. Can we still be friends?
Life is not a PG feel-good movie. Real life often ends badly. Literature tries to document this reality, while showing us it is still possible for us to endure nobly.
