Snapshot 21 July 02004

Such pain. I realize, again, that I am an odd person – my expectations of people so naive, my understanding so limited.  How I am wounded again and again, yet seem to grow no calluses.  Surely this is an error.  Like N–, that blazing day, stepping into a parking lot from an air-conditioned building and thinking, "There must be some mistake!"
