i like reading really old journal entries of mine. there's this one about how i don't approve of people doing things 'just because'. it made me laugh that i can write in such a way, using such language. i don't remember the last time i wrote anything.
"[why can't people walk away from things like that when they really feel the need?] because they've had the 'that's the way it's supposed to be' rule institutionalized. it's going to be in them forever haunting."
