funny how a beautiful song could tell such a sad story - Sarah Dessen

Life is full of screwups. You're supposed to fail sometimes. It's a required part of the human existance.

For two hours I'd felt myself stretching tighter and tighter, like a rubber band pulled to the point of snapping. And now, I could feel the smaller, weaker part of myself beginning to fray, tiny bits giving way before the big break.

This is exactly what i wanted, as commitments had never really been my thing. And it wasn't like it was hard, either. The only trick was never giving more than you were willing to lose.
