Sometimes I'm afraid of being alone, of living a life disconnected from other people. But it's through my connection to others that I get hurt over and again. I guess it's the paradox we face as social animals.
I've never met Gabriel Ortega in the flesh, so strictly speaking it shouldn't make a difference whether he's in town or not. Yet somehow I'm still happy that he's returned. It's strange, but now I feel less lonely, in this large apartment on my own.
