Kindle Notes & Highlights
You were you and I was me and there was this thing between us.
They say tragedies like this bring people together. They’re right. And it’s suffocating.
In this world we struggle and bitch and fail and hurt and then weep over someone checking out of it all.
When you died I mourned you, but also the version of myself I was with you. So there were two deaths.
I’m afraid that when we die, we end up wherever we always thought we’d end up. If we want to go to heaven, we go to heaven. If we believe in reincarnation, we come back as a baby or an animal or a tree. If we think we’re going to hell, we’ll burn forever, and we’ll never realize that we were the ones to put ourselves there. That in the afterlife we all tapped into a mechanism, some larger system bent on fulfilling our personal ideas of death.
