You feel pummeled by life. What does heavy-laden feel like? Same thing. You have so many problems you don't even know where to start. You can't do life on your own anymore.

At first, this will make you feel empty and you'll try to convince yourself that you could've loved this person for longer than a night, but you can't.

Sometimes it's better to leave while you're still ahead. Sometimes it's better to leave before you get unloved. — Ryan O'Connell

My goal is to create friend machines. Friendly genius machines. Machines with genius capabilities. — David Hanson

The extreme pleasure we take in speaking of ourselves should make us apprehensive that it gives hardly any to those who listen to us. — Francois De La Rochefoucauld
