    Okay, let’s hang out tomorrow.
    You should take a pill.
    Better than a hangover, which will make you feel worse. People take sleeping pills for a lot less.
    Sincerely, Dr. Roberts, X.O.

    Sometimes okay for whole minutes. Mostly.
    I just want to pull my lip over my head and swallow.

    I had a dream that Tibetan scarf guy kidnapped me and somehow Elliot was the only one of all our friends who knew how to find me and everyone was begging him to come rescue me—because he was the only one who could do it—but he wouldn’t pick up his phoneor answer his door. I have the most obvious brain on the planet. No wonder I got dumped.
    P.S. yes please, re: tonight. Honestly I feel like crawling into a ball and doing nothing but I know I should be human.
    What is wrong with me?

    NOTHING. You willfully ignored some bad signs about a guy because there was so much good and you wanted to make it work. I don’t know how to tell you not to take something as personal as this personally. But soon you will realize what I’m typing is true.
    Don’t make me pull up the emails and show you how nuts he was driving you, how anxiety-ridden he was making you. I’m not trying to downplay your heartbreak—it was real and it sucks—but I think there’s an ego element to this as well . . . (see also: neck scarf Jared)
    Elliot beat you to it. You were ready to kill him. You would have hit a wall eventually too, you really would have.

    Trying to let all that in but the only thing that offers any consolation, weirdly, this: “it was real.”

    So glad you asked.
    So I was literally a block away from my house when I get a text from that girl Leslie being like, “You out?” I tell her that I’m basically back at my house—she says she’s going home too, do I want to come over? Obviously. So I’m in a cab on my way to her place, when she calls me and is like, “Bring pizza, I’m hungry.” I try telling her that there’s no pizza place around her that’s open
