What worries me is that I'll have to spend the next fifty years on my own, and that's something I really don't want to have to think about. but in the meantime I'm used to my own company, and I haven't had to think about anyone else for months. Years."

"until I can learn to look at myself without judgment or condemnation, then you're right: I'm not ready for you. Or for anybody." - dawson's creek
