why were they there then?

Brothers and Sisters -

One time I asked my friend Derek what it was like to be married. "Is it a good gig?" He said, "It feels right. It feels like what you were supposed to do. Like what people were meant to do."
When you get to be my age, your friends start to marry off. Some of my friends from school have already started having children. Sometimes, when I see pictures of them and their spouses and babies, I feel like I am moving farther away from that point, and not closer.

In other news, I have heard and read a great deal of anecdotal evidence that suggests that nearly everyone at some point or another suspects that they are not okay, that something is wrong with them, that they are losing their mind. We're probably right.

your friend to the bitter end,

I am always losing my mind. Most of the time, I think I'm the only one who sees there's something wrong...

...which I'm not.
