‘Expectations adhere to each other, forming even greater expectations. Something insignificant is added to the heap, and then something else, until it’s hard to see over the top, and then it’s difficult not to perceive yourself as hemmed in, and then it’s difficult to tell the difference between what is and what might be.’

I have not ceased to delight in them since my discovery!
I'm glad you are lighter, and glad for these words to have been tiny instruments.
