By saying you don’t care if the world falls apart, in some small way you’re saying you want it to stay together, on your own terms.

I hated being careful, too - or wanted to, at least.

eye caring night
It was not enough to be the last guy she kissed. I wanted to be the last one she loved. And I knew I wasn’t. I knew it, and I hated her for it. I hated her for not caring about me.

south-carolina bottles faces
Traveling, I am finding, teaches you a lot of things about yourself. For instance, I never thought myself to be the kind of person who pees into a mostly empty bottle of Bluefin energy drink while driving through South Carolina at seventy-seven miles per hour - but in face I am that kind of person.
