Tell me something

[mrnastey]

Tell me something startling, something almost true. Tell me something like how bugs migrate, or snakes molt, or you eat cheese when everyone is sleeping. This is all I want from you

Sometimes I worry that I will grow old alone. I'm not afraid of growing old alone, because if I do, I just will and I'll put on more lipstick and soldier on like I always do. I'd like some kind of guarantee that it won't be that way, but I'm pretty sure I can't have one.

thank you

Sadly, there are no guarantees. But I don't think, from what little I know of you, that you need to fret much about this. You are a kind, generous, funny and sweet soul -- and that is a special thing. I believe loneliness in your old age is unlikely at this point, particularly if you stay up beat.

i now crave a t-shirt that says, "i'll put on more lipstick and soldier on like i always do." that's just beautiful.

I might not go down swinging, but I'm not going down looking like my second grade picture, either. You can take that to the bank.
