I use the word "end" loosely, because I don't know what the end is. This isn't it; I know that much. But it's the end for now. And it always comes down to this same decision... how long will it last this time? I don't know. Longer than last time? Probably. Longer than it's ever been? Probably not. Will it end up like it has almost every other time? I hope not. I hope this is different enough to be really different. But you never know.
And so, in the meantime, things are the way they always end up. I should be used to this by now, really. I mean, it's not like I've never been in this situation before. I know what to expect, I know how to deal, and I know that it will get easier. Time promises that every single time, and so far, I haven't been let down. But as "easy" as it gets, it never really gets painless. Everything just gets a little more dull than before, and everything is less sharp, even the pain.
