I don't like being reminded about how self-absorbed I was…
““I don't like being reminded about how self-absorbed I was. I wanted to be over this, done with this. I didn't want to live in a broken world or a broken me. I wasn't trying to weasel out of anything, I just wasn't in the mood to be on the earth that night. (I get like this sometimes when it rains, or when I see certain sad movies).””
