I really appreciate this catching up conversation. It feels like a very organic and authentic conversation between two friends who haven’t talked for a few months.
“We broke up.”
“Sounds like an asshole.”
I loved that. He’s being like that one friend who affirms you no matter what happened and telling you it’s not your fault.
“when i almost drowned, i decided i would never again be weaker than water. so i became a lifeguard. on my first day of training, my instructor told me that there are going to be times when you see someone in trouble. you’re going to want to rush in there and do whatever you can to save them. but you have to stop yourself. because there are some people you can’t save. because those people will thrash and struggle and try to take you down with them.”
