we were just pretending
"I guess I like that idea that you could pretend yourself into new feelings and new relationships. Obviously I'm a big pretender. but the kind of leap where it's almost like some kind of science fiction thing happens. Like we were just pretending, and then what's this? We actually have new powers now, and we see each other differently, and in fact all of life has suddenly tilted. I'm going for that everyday, personally."

Isn’t that always the way.
Things Could Be Worse by Benjamin Dewey
You may have fallen off a moving boxcar and your spouse ran away with your dog (to be together), but look, the calamitous nature of life dictates that things could always be worse. And they could! After all, you’re not trapped in the 20,000,000 year old lake under Antarctic ice. Nor are you a Bearded Lady enslaved by carnies. If by some chance you have befallen any of these unfortunate fates, then I apologize: things probably are pretty bad for you. Follow some similar near-catastrophic potentialities at Benjamin’s tumblr, or buy prints at etsy so you can plaster on your wall the reminder that hey, you’re not a zombie… yet.
This is my favorite. Forever.
