a man stopped me on the street today, leah.

he looked homeless. he asked me how my

day was going, and it wasn't really going well

at all (i'd found something of yours in the back

of my closest and i had to resist setting it on

fire). i told him i was fine though, and i asked

him how his day was going.

with a smile, he said, "i am doing terrible i lost

everything. including the woman i love, but with

that, my boy, comes a terrifying reality. you are

free, you are alive, and you are breathing, and

you can do anything you want, and become

something you'd always wanted to be. you are

so terribly free."

am i really, leah? am i free?
