i want to leave not because the world is too much, but i am. dancing in the sunshine, singing in the rain, smiling as if my life is brilliant. my outside life if pretty perfect, but the inside is rusty. too many cracks and snags, too many broken pipes, fractured beams to be useful anymore. you wouldn’t use a vase that can’t hold water, so why use a life that can’t hold joy?
