Grief isn’t a linear path from loss to rediscovering joy and laughter.
It’s a trail of zigs and zags, of ups and downs, that eventually leads to more happy days than sad ones.
It’s a journey that never really ends, just becomes easier to travel.
“excellent fun ‘til you get to know her” is just a cute line until you realize that’s why you’ve lost all your friends throughout your life. that’s when you become the bolter. if you can’t bare for anyone else to give up on you, you have to be the first to bolt.
