From Places Unknown

“I don’t understand why it’s so easy to walk away from me.” -m.

“I am sorry for that, Michelle.” -d.


“Why do I keep falling for men who are unhealthy?” -m.

“Why do you keep falling for boys instead of men?” -d.


“Perhaps it’s about time your heart grew up.” -d.


“You need to make a decision. If you don’t let your heart come to the surface, then you’d better fire me and find someone who can help you a different way, because this is the only way I know how.” -d.


“This just fucking hurts.” -m.

“Good.” -d.


“Until you realize your heart is precious, you’ll keep jumping headfirst into shit like this.” -d.


“I think I’m worth fighting for.” -m.

“And a man will realize that. Because he’ll wait for you and be patient with you. A boy doesn’t know how.” -d.


“I’m angry and irritable and impatient with everyone all the time.” -m.

“Do you think that’s any coincidence?” -d.



It was a long appointment today.


Hurting, honestly,

michelle
