circles
quote from Baby, one of my favorite books ever, by Patricia MacLachlan:
Ms. Minified said once that life is made up of circles. "Life is not a straight line," she said. "And sometimes we circle back to a past time. But we are not the same."
life is made up of circles. sometimes the circle encompasses two relationships and is completed when your crappy time serves to help someone else get out of theirs. sometimes the circle contains a friendship that's falling away from what it once was and the circle comes around when you find yourself giggling hysterically on the phone with that person because of something stupid and it reminds you of what you once were and how you'll always have each other, somehow. sometimes the circle never comes all the way around ever again because someone leaves or dies or you walk away without explaining because you can't anymore, you just can't.
sometimes, after complaining about him and being a complete baby and bitching up and down about how much you can't stand him...zac finally says, and does, exactly the right thing. and it all comes around.
life is made up of circles.
