Insomnia Strikes Yet Again
Woke up for no reason at 2.30 am and as it was unlikely that I was going to sleep anytime soon, decided to continue reading Mike Gayle's "Brand New Friend", which I bought a few days ago, after checking work e.mails (I swear this is an addictive habit that I have to break - haiz .....). Read till almost 5, and this excerpt caught the attention of my rather tired brain before I decided to catch some sleep:
"It's so much easier to get over people when you can pretend that they've stopped existing - almost as if they've died. You feel sad rather than angry. You can grieve. And I think it helps you to move on. But it means that when you do see them it's that much more painful, a big fat reminder that they're out there, living their life, not giving you a second thought"
Yah, a bit of a victim quote, but I have this feeling that a lot of us have been there.....
