Sometimes we need a break from ourselves, we need to switch to a different life. It's not impossible. Pick up a book and feel it. How does it feel knowing you can live a completely different life with the same body.
I pick the book off my shelf and grab my board, it's 2am again, it's time to go. I do my usual routine, I lock my bedroom door so they can't see that I'm not here, I open my window and jump onto the garage roof. I throw my board onto the grass below and swing off the garage roof putting all my trust in the branch from the tree a few inches away that it'll once again be strong enough to help me to the ground safely. I take one large inhale of breath before I leap and grab the branch, I swing and leap finally landing on the grass next to my belongings. You'd think by now this being an every night occurrence that I'd be used to it but there's just something that scares me, putting trust in this lifeless tree hoping it will stop me from the painful result that could be. I have more trust in this one tree then I do in any one person who interacts with me. And that's all because of him. He broke me and the night, well the night saved me.
