human nature

A no talking kind of day. Crying on the phone tonight, never gonna change, never gonna get better, and still this stupid pride... too good to just take a shit job. Too proud. In this small town...

And he says things like "It would only be for a while, don't care what other people think." And I think... well, you aren't doing it, why should I?

And maybe we are somehow holding each other back. Giving each other false hope and excuses and support when we deserve shame. And I make myself feel better by thinking things like "Well, if I had a car, I wouldn't let myself be in his position. He HAS a car and is still in the position he is."

But really, it's all just excuses. It's all human nature I suppose, to find the faults in other the most offensive when they are also your own.
