a few striking quotes from this one:
"Some people ditch friends and lovers because it's easier to get new ones than to resolve conflicts with the old ones, particularly if resolving a conflict requires one to admit error or practice mercy. I'm describing an asshole. But what if the asshole thinks he's ditching an asshole?"
"I love word games, in which words are reduced to objects, and which kill the intimacy I maintain with the same words when I'm writing." <-- me playing the wordle everyday
"Depression is hard to describe not just because it is complex and abstract but also because it occupies the part of us capable of describing things."
