The Illusion of Permanence

A stubborn enough person can survive just about anything. Rage is a hell of an anaesthetic.

I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.

Having experienced both, I am not sure which is worse: intense feeling, or the absence of it.

You…gardening? 

Why is it that surprising?

It’s time you take control of your life, Ty, because otherwise you’re going to get hurt or worse. I know you say you can handle yourself but honestly, there might be a time when you can’t.

Rhiley, I would have thought that by now you knew; I don't mind getting hurt. Or worse. Of course there are, but isn't that the same for all people? I mean, can you always handle yourself? I appreciate your concern and good intentions but..just let me do my thing.

What’s with the shovel? 

Should I be worried?

Never. Something happened or you all just took an interest in my life out of the blue?

Tyson, I’m done with the lies and the secrets, just trust me enough to actually tell me what’s going on in your life.

It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I can't tell you. I can't because I have no idea what is really going on in my life.

What?

The thing I’m most afraid of is me. Of not knowing what I’m going to do. Of not knowing what I’m doing right now.

I have seen you, you treat them with extra compassion.

That's a way to put it.
