How to Make Friends with the Dark

by Kathleen Glasgow

It would be nice if once, someone would just say, “Girl, you are in the shit and you will not be getting out soon. So here’s how to make friends with the dark.”

When people die, it’s like they kind of take your ability to form words with them. You come up empty a lot of the time.

You must go on. I can’t go on. You must go on. Because what other choice is there, really? You have to make friends with the dark.
