they’ll see who you’ve let yourself become and you don’t want that. no, you really don’t. keep persuading yourself. it will go away. just sit there with your guitar and your circling mind and tell yourself that it will be okay, it will be okay, that your life is like this guitar string, it keeps stretching and stretching and going in and out of tune, until it snaps, and then that’s it, but the snap isn’t something you can control. no, you can’t let yourself control it anymore, you can’t do that again, you can’t. keep on going. and keep on caring for strangers. that way, you’ve got a tiny reason not to disappear.
