And even if you flee your life, I think you still end up in the same place in the end. You still have to be you, you still have to make the dance. It’s just much harder, and some important things are lost along the way. So this story is also told from the point of view of what was lost – a cat. Paw Paw tells the truth simply and is completely exposed, like someone just born or someone very old. He was the only way I could describe the bittersweet vertigo of true love. Which is the thing that got me thinking about mortality in the first place.

Today, a black SUV swerved into my lane and missed smashing into my car by only a hair, and sent me swerving into the next lane honking like a crazy person. The driver threw his arm out the window with an apologetic wave. I turned to glare (okay and probably flip the finger) but stopped. The driver was none other than my ex-boyfriend Alex.
Life!
