" Is that how you live your life? By people forcing you out of your comfort zone? Why not willingly put yourself in situations that make you uncomfortable?”
“Why would anyone do that?” Our voices were getting louder, taking up space in the Jeep.
“How do you expect to understand anything if you don’t take a step out of your comfort zone, if you don’t embrace the scary?”
“I don’t need to understand anything.”
“Then you’re not alive. You don’t want to feel, you don’t want to connect, you don’t want to exist outside of that big head of yours. I should have told you that you were six feet under instead.”
“We don’t all have to live the way you think we should live.”
“Of course not. But what is living, really? Are you going to spend the next sixty years of your life alone? You’ll die in your sleep and no one will know, no one will care. "
