i'd like to think i know better now, but i don't.
wonder how long it's going to be before i crack and move home.
i'm reminded of shaun talking about the edge community (i've never been of the persuasion but i have no problems with those who are). he verbally checked off a list of individuals in the community who he felt were close to breaking edge and i felt a strange amusement at the tragedy of a group at once so passionate and so fragile in their membership. he comes last to a person surely on the brink; "he's about to turn 19. he doesn't say he's edge anymore -- just says he doesn't drink. he's gonna snap like a twig".
i feel like i'm about to break my edge. the pull, the allure, it's just too strong. unless i find a good reason -- and quick -- staying becomes a deathly negative condition. how hard is it to stay positive in the despair that pales?
this, of course, is superfluous. just keep going.
