“I didnt like being reminded about how self-absorbed i was. I wanted to be over this, done with this. I didnt want to live in a broken world or a broken me. I wasnt trying to weasel out of anything.

I get like that sometimes when it rains, or when i see certain sad movies.” WorldWantTryingSelfSometimesDoneWantedEarthNightCertainBrokenRainMoodSelf AbsorbedWeaselsBroken WorldSad Movie Book:Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality Source: Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality
