"Practice losing farther, losing faster"

Have you ever loved somebody so much that it hurts? Not a good hurt, but a small aching pain, that presents itself in every moment of weakness you incur. It hurts when you’re not with them, but it hurts when you are. You hurt each other, you hurt your friends, you hurt your families.  The hurting starts out small, but eventually grows into a fire that you cannot contain, taking out everything in its way until all that’s left is the ashes of what remains.
 Nothing. 
It’s like screaming, but when you open your mouth there’s no sound. It’s like wanting to crawl out of  your body and becoming nothing. It’s like getting lost and then drowning in a lonely lake. It’s like dying and nobody even remembering your name.  They never tell you what it’s like to experience real pain. It hurts when you sleep, it hurts when you eat, it hurts when you breathe.
