It doesn't bother meThat less than brimming is my cup.Today is crowned with great success!Look at me!

Isn't it funny how the memories you cherish before a breakup

Isn't it funny how the memories you cherish before a breakup can become your worst enemies afterwards? The thoughts you loved to think about, the memories you wanted to hold up to the light and view from every angle--it suddenly seems a lot safer to lock them in a box, far from the light of day and throw away the key.
