i like it when stories take sharp left turns.

you think you're going to hear a love story,

then without warning, it's nothing more than a "fuck you" to the terms of endearment you once held dear.

i like it when the narrative falls apart

and the protagonist, who once had the girl,

loses the world.

i like it because it's true.

"happiness isn't a fixed point anyway, 

you find it, you fumble it"

and these stories show that.

show what it's like to be at the bottom

and how the bottom never

really truly is the lowest.

you're always at someone else's high.
