“The useless days will add up to something. The shitty waitressing jobs. The hours writing in your journal. The long meandering walks. The hours reading poetry and story collections and novels and dead people’s diaries and wondering about sex and God and whether you should shave under your arms or not. These things are your becoming.”
― Cheryl Strayed, Tiny Beautiful Things
WILL- so when did you know, like, that she was the one for you?
SEAN - october 21, 1975.
WILL - jesus christ, you know the fucking day?
SEAN - oh yeah, because it was game six of the world series. biggest game of red socks history. my friends and i had slept out on the sidewalk all night to get tickets.
WILL - you got tickets?
SEAN - yep. day of the game, we’re sitting in a bar waiting for the game to start, and in walks this girl. it was an amazing game though… thirty-five thousand fans, they charge the field, you know?
WILL - i can’t believe you had fucking tickets to that fucking game. did you rush the field?
SEAN - no i didn’t rush the fucking field. i wasn’t there.
WILL - what.
SEAN - no i was in a bar having a drink with my future wife.
WILL - you missed pudge fisk’s home run?
SEAN - oh yeah.
WILL - to have a fucking drink with some lady you never met.
SEAN - yeah but you should have seen her, she was a stunner. oh, she lit up the room.
WILL - i don’t care if helen of troy walks in, that’s game six. oh my god and who are these fucking friends of yours? they let you get away with that?
SEAN - they had to.
WILL - well what did you say to them?
SEAN - i just slid my ticket across the counter and i said sorry guys, i gotta see about a girl.
WILL - i gotta go see about a girl? that’s what you said? and they let you get away with that?
SEAN - oh yeah. they saw in my eyes that i meant it.
SEAN - you can’t tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. if i ask you about love, you’ll probably quote me a sonnet. but you’ve never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. known someone that could level you with her eyes. feeling like god put an angel on earth just for you. who could rescue you from the depths of hell. and you wouldn’t know what it’s like to be her angel. to have that love for her be there forever. through anything. you don’t know about real loss, because it only occurs when you love something more than yourself. and i doubt you’ve ever dared to love anybody that much.
"Some chapters hold laughter, love, and late-night talks, but still end without closure. You don't always get goodbye. Sometimes people just fade into the background, leaving behind echoes of moments that once meant everything. It hurts. Not because the memories weren't real, but because the connection wasn't meant to last. We shared secrets, made promises, and planned futures that never happened. And yet, I wouldn't erase them, because in those moments, even if temporary, we were exactly who we needed to be for each other. I've learned that not everyone is meant to stay in your story forever. Some people are lessons, some are blessings, some are both. And just because we don't speak anymore doesn't mean I've forgotten. It doesn't mean I'm bitter. It just means I've made some of my favorite memories with people that I will never speak to again. And that's the strange part about life. Some chapters hold laughter, love, and late-night talks, but still end without closure."
