I wanted to just sink into my media downloads for a while and pretend I didn’t exist.

“Sometimes people do things to you that you can’t do anything about. You just have to survive it and go on.”

I tapped the feed in acknowledgment, because if I tried to say anything else I was going to sound stupid and emotional.
