How amazing it is that friendships can become so full that you can't imagine what your life was like before them.
David Levithantiny: but there is the word, this word phil wrayson taught me once: weltschmerz. it's the depression you feel when the world as it is does not line up with the world as you think it should be. i live in a big goddamned weltzschermz ocean, you know? and so do you.
David LevithanDo you know when you cross against traffic? You look down the street and see a car coming, but you know you can get across before it gets to you. So even though thereโs a DONโT WALK sign, you cross anyway. And thereโs always a split second when you turn and see that car coming, and you know that if you donโt continue moving, it will all be over. Thatโs how I feel a lot of the time. I know Iโll make it across. I always make it across. But the car is always there, and I always stop to watch it coming.
