what good is talking if you don
t
want to talk. be more forthright.
with yourself.  be specific about
how alone you yearn to be.  i
can
t even write that without
a pang.  come on.  objectively:
who wants to be alone?  oh.  
right.  okay.  duh.  sorry.
which is better, losing faith 
in humanity, or believing 
nobody will ever get you? 
get what?  somebody. 
at least before you start 
making noises about the 
importance of engage-
ment, it might be smart
to start small.  earn a
few words.  build a
little box to put 
them all in.  take 
a few baby steps 
before you decide 
whether walking is 
even the way you 
want to go.  are you 
there?  if so, hit me back.
