Marry someone you love talking to. You'll come home to that voice, go to sleep to that voice, wake up to that voice. You'll have thousands of conversations, some deep, some dull, some in passing, some in anger. But if you can talk through anything, you can get through anything.
i love how books can completely transport you to another century or a different universe, all while you are just sitting wrapped in a blanket on your couch. reading is the closest thing we have to actual time travel.
