How is it that one stupid little thing can change your life so much anyway? How is it that one slow song can make you feel lonely and sad and unfulfilled, when only seconds before you were having such a great time?
I'm happy with D now, but I do remember times when I was out with friends, often shortly after a breakup, and feeling okay, until someone said something, or a song comes on and I lost it. From feeling content, happy, and generally okay about myself, I went to feeling supremely unloved and misunderstood. Years of insults and slights and unhappiness piled up in a couple of seconds and crashed in with all that combined weight, and I went under.
How is it that emotional stability can be so fragile, and, knowing that, how come we can be so careless with the people we love?
