I realize that some of my dates may be jerks, and others are not. It is a lesson for me to know how to manipulate my life to be authentic, especially in terms of another person. I wish you could just stay near anyway. No matter what. I need to really be myself and time to explore life after a few years of nothingness. I’m not able to commit to anything for a long while. I’m sorry it’s that way. But why can’t we be friends, ya know? I miss you. I hate the way you alwasy run pracitcally to another continent to get away from me. Because I would walk a thousand miles more. —Glass Woman
