life care staring
If you stare at the center of the universe, there is coldness there. A blankness. Ultimately, the universe doesn't care about us. Time doesn't care about us. That's why we have to care about each other.
sadness ideas lost
She is so lost in her sadness that she has no idea how visible it is.
mean missing void
Void is when there is absolutely nothing there and the nothing is natural, a complete vacuum. But empty - with empty, you are aware of what's supposed to be there. Empty means something is missing.
inspirational real together-again
when things break, it's not the actual breaking that prevents them from getting back together again. it's because a little piece gets lost -- the two remaining ends couldn't fit together even if they wanted to. the whole shape has changed.

Here's what breaks us: Even though we know better, we still want everything to be all right.

Music is everywhere. It’s in the air between us, waiting to be sung.
pain thinking yesterday
I wake up thinking of yesterday. The joy is in remembering; the pain is in knowing it was yesterday.
break-up two people
this is why we call people exes, I guess - because the paths that cross in the middle end up separating at the end. it's too easy to see an X as a cross-out. it's not, because there's no way to cross out something like that. the X is a diagram of two paths.
meaningful thinking possibility
But I think we both knew, even then, that what we had was something even more rare, and even more meaningful. I was going to be his friend, and was going to show him possibilities. And he, in turn, would become someone I could trust more than myself.
goes-on life-is redundancy
Life goes on is a redundancy. Life is defined by its going on.
