Re: Hannah S/Claire J
But she makes it sound like he did something wrong, and maybe he told her what he did because he didn't want to completely close the door? This would be easier if I knew people in happy relationships, but everyone I know who has been in one has been so, so unhappy, Claire, and I don't want to be unhappy. [...] That's so frustrating.
I don't believe in religion, which I know we talked about, but I don't think what I think is any better than what you think. I understand everyone believes what they believe, so why would anyone bash your beliefs or make fun of the church? It's never nice to make fun of something that's important to another person. [...] Are you really going to go? Where would you go to? I think your real friends would want you to stay.
But bad things happen, right? We have to make allowances for bad things happening, and I don't think beating ourselves up makes anything better. Okay, people died and fell into a coma, but if you hadn't done what you did? Maybe the whole world would be asleep now. You can't take all the blame onto yourself for everything always, Claire. You just can't. [...] Is this a stranger from your dream?
