you just accept that people come and people go. That’s just the way the world is – they have their own lives, and as they live them, sometimes that takes them out of yours.

When you are confronted with something in the world that simply doesn’t belong, your mind tries to convince itself that it is dreaming, and to that end it provides you with that distinct sense of all things moving slowly, as if through sap.
