but I just can't convince myself that anyone ever really cares this ties into my whole we-only-have-and-can-only-depend-on-ourselves train of thought that I can get lost in. I don't know. Another conversation to follow and get tangled up in on another evening.
Yeah. I've been thinking about that a lot since you said it. I used to think that way, unequivocally, and I think perhaps I don't anymore, despite this post, and I can't quite decide if I wish I did? Opening yourself up really fucking sucks, sometimes.

Punch in the stomach, definitely. Glad this was new for you and that you think it's beautiful :) (or, edit, sorry, that you think that part is beautiful, anyway! heh)
