It is very frustrating not to be understood in this world. If you say one thing and keep being told that you mean something else, it can make you want to scream.

The file clanked against me, my stupid idea nobody would have gotten had I ever done it. You even wouldn't have gotten it, Ed, I thought, watching her go. It's why we broke up, so here it is. Ed, how could you?

You know I want to be a director, but you could never truly see the movies in my head and that, Ed, is why we broke up.

It is so rare in this world to meet a trustworthy person who truly wants to help you, and finding such a person can make you feel warm and safe, even if you are in the middle of a windy valley high up in the mountains.
