I wonder why you're not used to me yet. It's not like I ever really change, I merely evolve--get worse , like most catastrophes. Remember that time you joked about comparing me and the Cold War? That never really left my mind. Not that it tainted anything worth keeping clean. I am a war. That's something you got right. But I am not a war against anyone else. I am a war I wage against myself. A weak tornado, a broken tsunami, a civil war of sorts that none will ever win. No one will ever win. But I will always lose. It is a fate I have come to accept in the past few years I've had to deal with broken bones and torn tendons. None of these is really new. I wonder why I'm not used to it yet.
