“I should learn to listen. Allow the words to settle in that padded room between denial and acceptance. But it would be easier to place one foot on the low wall of a high bridge, spread my arms crucifix-wide, lean forward and will flight into the span of my arms.”

“However necessary he knew it was though, being around other people could be exhausting; having to pretend that you were fine, having to make sure your mask was in place for every moment of every conversation. Being terrified that if it slipped, even for a second, people would get a glimpse into the sham of a human being he really was. Shawlands.”
