Re: Sparrow/Evie
Losing someone is [...] like the whole universe letting you down. Its like you just want to scream and holler that the world had one damn job to do, and that was protect these people and it didn't. And you start not trusting anyone or anything, not the people still around you, or even the ground under your feet. Everything is waiting to betray you. Your own words even, and even though you know other people have suffered or are suffering, they aren't suffering like you are and that means they can't be trusted either. And the only thing that can be trusted is your sadness. Because that's the only reality you choose to accept.
But, when you stop letting it consume you, and you stop being afraid of moving on, or at least moving ahead, the wound starts to heal. It always aches, like deep wounds do, and there's a scar there I think, but it does get better.
