Kindle Notes & Highlights
These rules, they keep things in order. They make life bearable. You will find that everything, even the apparently unbearable things, can be bearable to some degree. It is all in how you handle them. The perspective you take. How quickly you can learn what to do and what not to do and act accordingly.

Being outside the house was bad. Nothing inside my home was bad. Everything was rule-bound and predictable and survivable.

had grown accustomed to solo trips through hell over the years. It seemed counterintuitive to invite company.
It’s a funny thing about being alone. You never really notice it when it’s happening. Of course, you’re aware that nobody else is there, but you are so busy with the little things. You’ve become acclimated to solitude, but it only takes one little thing to jolt you into the realization that for the past several years, you have been completely alone in all of this.
