truth.

"i know it's hard to believe people when they say i know how you feel . . . but i actually know how you feel . . .
i understand feeling as small and insignificant as humanly possible . . . and how it can actually ache in places that you didn't know you had inside you . . . and it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get-or gyms you join-or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends, you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could've misunderstood . . . and how in the heck for that brief moment you could think you were that happy. and sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. and after all that . . . however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new--and you'll meet people that make you feel worthwhile again . . . and little pieces of your soul will finally come back . . . and all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted . . . that will eventually begin to fade."
