It
is the moment where you take comfort in the fact that it was a dream. It’s the
moment you realize that you’re a mess, and you can’t live without him. Or maybe
you can, and you’re scared of that too. It happens at the moment that you know
you eat too much, and you cry without tears and don’t shower. It’s these
moments that let you know you’re not okay, it is your pain demanding to be
felt. When you can’t imagine your life any differently than how it is right now
at this moment, when you’re sitting in your bedroom eating caramel M&M’s
because you didn’t buy peanut ones. But hey, as long as you have something to
put in your mouth. See, we buy the caramel ones instead of the peanut ones in
the hopes of trying something new- but really, it’s an attempt to not feel so
alone. It happens at the moment where you write your feelings on a word
document and think about leaving it up. That way maybe he’ll see it and talk to
you about it, instead of you having to bring it up. You’re crying for help,
babe, and no one can hear you. You text and get an answer, so you revel in the
relief for a moment that he’s still yours, still in love with you, still fine-
but then the relief passes and you need more. You’re a heroin addict who needs
a fix; and you need it fast, don’t you? You chubby b***h. You go to watch Karl
Pilkington in your bedroom because it’s all you feel like doing, and you can
hide behind the door! Just wait though, you can’t hear Karl over the sound of
you eating your Jalapeno Cheesies. You start f*****g crying at how miserable
and mundane your life is getting, and how you’re twenty-one and living off
government money. It is the moment where you take comfort in the fact that it
was a dream. Once when you were little and you were snooping in your brother's
room, and you found a note written to his girlfriend. It read "The first
cut is always deepest." Another one said “Baby, I know,”
