The other night, she said to me, "we are all addicted to something, maybe an idea of ourselves, or our lives, maybe some idea of success or failure..."
"Are you scared, too?"
"Being a mother of a 17-year-old is a trip. You are supposed to have all the answers and you don't have one. Even the idea that once you have a family you won't be lonely again."
"Heavy, unm? We don't like to admit it, but, we are all just scared little animals."
- You don't even care. You have it so easy, Joe.
- I hate it when you say shit like that.
- Like what?
- Like you are the only who have problems. Do you ever think that maybe you are so busy being weird that I have to step up being normal?
There is nothing really wrong with thumb-sucking...
That's 'cause we don't like to be problemless. To fix ourselves, we look for some magic solution making ourself better but none of us really knows what we are doing. I mean, why is that so bad? That' s all we humans can do. Guess, try, hope. But, Justin, just pray you don't fool yourself into thinking you got the answer. 'Cause that's bullshit. The trick is living without an answer... I think... I think.
