And sometimes it just feels blank. Almost as if no matter what I do or say has any effect. But then a certain song is played, or a familiar smell enters my thoughts and I feel so much I could explode. Then a sickness comes along that could potentially turn your whole life around. It's probably nothing, but it's just enough to make your stomach turn at the thought of it being more than nothing. Or there's a car accident involving someone that you haven't kept in touch with nearly enough, and all you can think about is how you can't handle any of this right now, and the guilt is unbearable. Things are going to happen regardless of whether or not you are ready for them. People die and people get sick whether or not it fits into your schedule. You will lose friends in a war that lasts only four weeks, and it will hurt even more because it lasted only four weeks.
How can you throw people aside like they are nothing? How is it than you can dismiss people's feelings without a second thought, only after they are through amusing you? Sure, you've grown and you've changed, but how does it feel having the reputation of being an arrogant asshole? It is after all a title you have earned. What's so unfortunate, is that I think it was your goal.
