It’s humbling, to become the very thing you once mocked.
It was surprising that you could spend hours in the middle of the night pretending things were OK, and know in thirty seconds of daylight that that simply wasn't so.
There’s something disturbing about recalling a warm memory and feeling utterly cold.

It’s a very difficult era in which to be a person, just a real, actual person, instead of a collection of personality traits selected from an endless Automat of characters.
