it's funny how we have to delete people from our lives to make any progress. we used to burn pictures and now we delete files and contacts. we unfriend. every once in a while we check back to see if enough time has passed. not yet? oh, ok, i'll just check again later. we gotta wait until we're all numb to each other to try again. put a distance the size of an ocean. why does being human entail these terrible traditions? perhaps we're all meant to be solitary and selfish. why is having a partner so hard to endure? excitement turns to boredom turns to resentment turns to emptiness. separate and repeat with a new specimen. someday you'll be too old for all this and you'll have to settle down. you'll want to go seven loves back.
