“Here’s the truth: friendships between women are often the deepest and most profound love stories, but they are often discussed as if they are ancillary, “bonus” relationships to the truly important ones. Women’s friendships outlast jobs, parents, husbands, boyfriends, lovers, and sometimes children.”

I don’t go around with a sad, melancholic expression and my head bowed down from the world. I don’t walk around with tears in my eyes, narrating depressing but true sentences to myself.
I have all these dark, gloomy thoughts and revelations in my head, but that’s exactly where they are and where they stay (not including a few obscure pages on the internet of course).
I have all these thoughts, but just like everyone else, I walk around with a smile, I laugh, I joke (albeit badly), and I go about my life like nothing is wrong. Which makes me think all of a sudden, what goes on behind all the happy faces I see everyday?
I must have come across as weird today because I doubted everyone’s smiles and laughter. I looked piercingly at anyone who smiled at me, and I tried to decipher anyone who laughed, whether they meant it. Smiles and laughter are manifestations of happiness, aren’t they?

after you connect that way with another person, there’s no other way to live. After you know what it’s like to have someone you feel connected with, you can’t really do without that connection anymore.
It’s like your whole life you’ve been lonely and fine, because you didn’t even know you were lonely. It’s like you’ve always been fine without glasses, because you didn’t even know your vision was wrong. Once you connect with someone like that, you instantly realize how lonely it has been all this while. Once you put on glasses, you see that the green blobs you’ve been seeing on trees are actually leaves, and you instantly realise how bad your vision has always been.
And you can’t really go back to being that lonely anymore. You can’t really go back to living without glasses and with that bad vision anymore.
And that’s where many wrong relationships happen. People are so desperate for that connection, they see it even when it’s not there.
I don’t want to become like that. I want to forever be fine alone. I want to never realize how lonely I am.
is loss. Nothing but loss. I cannot imagine living another 40, 30, 20, no, even 10 years is too long. There is so much for me to lose in the remaining time I have in my life. Have you ever thought about that? Oh sure, you’re going to gain too, of course. But what you gain, you ultimately lose, too.
So living today is important. Today is good, today you will not lose anything, so live today, and be happy today.
Then hope to die tomorrow, before you lose anything.
