“You put in expired contacts?” He sounded personally offended “Just a little expired.” “What’s ‘a little’?” “I don’t know. A few years?” “What?” His consonants were sharp and precise. Crisp.

Sometimes people just aren't in a place to receive happiness, you know? And it's nothing you're doing wrong. It's just that they don't want to feel it. They can't let you in. They don't know how.

Life could be turned around, inside out, backward and forward, or it could even transform into something else entirely.
