i have nothing now but praise for my life. i’m not unhappy. i cry a lot because i miss people. they die and i can’t stop them. they leave me and i love them more. … what i dread is the isolation. … there are so many beautiful things in the world which i will have to leave when i die, but i’m ready, i’m ready, i’m ready.
