maybe
You watch the ones who promised to love you forever love someone else. Maybe they miss you. Maybe they are just selfish. Maybe they are just as happy as they are pretending. Maybe they are secretly unhappy and wish things were different. Maybe, they are genuinely happy. Maybe this time, forever means more than almost half a decade. Who knows?
You can listen to all the sage wisdom you want, but things only make sense when you can explain them to yourself in your own words. Other truths I know now that I can explain them: that I’m not missing any crucial information and that poker really isn’t all that fun; that heartbreaks do fade but they take about a year longer than you expect and by the time they do you really don’t care about it enough to notice; and above all else, life is simpler than you think.
