Meantime

I told him about the Valium and he said that I needed to be careful because after a while it stops you from feeling anything with your soul. It sounded poetic the way he said it, and also like the greatest recommendation for anything that I’d ever heard.

I had a friend there who’d found Jesus, and I was happy for her, and wished that one day I could lose it as fully as that.
