"it's hard to believe people when they say 'i know how you feel', but i actually know how you feel"

I.-[...] i understand feeling as small & insignificant as humanly possible, & how it can actually ache in places that you didn't know you had inside you, & it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get or gyms you join or how many glasses of chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends, you still go to bed every night going over every detail, & wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. And how in the hell, for that brief moment, you could think that you were that happy, & sometimes you can even convince yourself that "he'll" see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new, & you'll met people who make you feel worthwhile again, & little pieces of your soul will finally come back, & all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade-

M.- well fuck, you need this more than i do (& gives her a glass of vodka).
