jump with your eyes open

- How do I make a change? I can't go through this again. Harry, I swear to God, I'll lose my mind.
- Oh, shit. Bradley, listen. You just gotta stay alert.
- What does that mean?
- Well, everything we need to know is going on right in front of our eyes. Yeah, we have our illusions about people, our hopes, and they can blind us. But the end is always right there in the beginning.
- Kathryn said I never saw her. Maybe I never saw Diana either. I was just looking for some piece of happiness, so I closed my eyes and jumped. Okay, so next time... Don't jump, I know.
- No, no, no, no, no. Jump! Jump, but with your eyes open.




Look at us, running around. Always rushed, always late. I guess that’s why they call it the human race. What we crave most in this world is connection. For some people it happens at first sight. It’s when you know you know. It’s fate working its magic. And that’s great for them. They get to live in a pop song. Ride the express train. But that’s not the way it really works. For the rest of us, it’s a bit less romantic. It’s complicated, it’s messy. It’s about horrible timing, and fumbled opportunities. And not being able to say what you need to say when you need to say it.

I do not trust people who don’t love themselves and yet tell me, ‘I love you.’ There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.

Sometimes I put things in drawers inside my head and forget about it. I guess it’s less painful to put certain things away than to live with it.
