I shrugged. I guess that guys who’d never do something like that have a hard time believing some other guy would, I said, but I could see her point. Awareness and apologies were fine and good, but the...
I suppose in the end the whole of life becomes an act of letting go. But what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.
I truly wanted to live a life in which I could make my own choices, independent of the 'duties' of my birth and position. It was only when fate granted that to me that I realized the cost of it. I cou...
I was sitting on the roof, and she didn't see me. I sit on the roof a lot. People never think to look up.
