   Out of the mouths of sucklings, they say.

   Bruno’s life isn’t dead to anybody but herself, something she’s put an absurd amount of time into analyzing and then, paradoxically, ignoring.

   Now, having been deflated once again, she finds this a reason to stay with a pizza-delivery kid? Honey, his life is at least as pointless as yours. Whether he knows it and accepts it or is following one or the other rabbit-hole in search of his Wonderland is immaterial. So too the fact that he has you pegged just like a nailgun. You’ve made a false values judgment on values you don’t think you really deserve, in pursuit of an insight you’ve already received. And come up an answer you KNOW is wrong. You don’t have to be Kierkegaard to know you’ve got one foot in a hole and you’re dragging the other in circles.Cf. Steven’s instant analysis.

   So what’s it going to be? Another search for the pointless bottom? Another flight to somewhere, someone, something else? Believe it or not, you CAN run out of road and you will find yourself again in places you fled before. And where are you now? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you deserve to be? You haven’t even realized you haven’t moved, have you? –that Steven is just another flavor of Sota. That you’re caught in a cycle of weak-ass nihilism that can neither destroy you nor move you.

   So are you going to be the pizza guy’s doxy? Or try and retrace your steps to a little bit more self-respect and figure out how to backtrack from there? It’s up to you. No one else. (Sorry, Chris)
