"I've been acting like I'm strong, but/

the truth is I've been losing ground-"

- 'Dismantling Summer' by The Wonder Years

First, I went to Starbucks to read.

I read approx. 10 pages of Infinite Jest;

it was the part where Hal describes Himself's suicide.

Second, I stopped by Petsmart to look at baby chameleons.

There was a dog adoption event going on,

and one particular dog in his little black cage was whimpering and shaking.

I left the store and got in my car.

On the drive home, I cried for the second time in a week.

I need some help.
