Putting up with the fear of being with the wrong person because you can't deal with the fear of being
alone
.

That whole week, we started to divide things into those two categories: anything or something. A piece of jewelry bougth at a department store: anything. A piece of jewelry made by hand: something. A dollar: anything. A sand dollar: something. A gift certificate: anything. An IOU for two hours of starwatching: something. A drunk kiss at a party: anything. A sober kiss
alone
in a park: something.

This is what love does: It makes you want to rewrite the world. It makes you want to choose the characters, build the scenery, guide the plot. The person you love sits across from you, and you want to do everything in your power to make it possible, endlessly possible. And when it's just the two of you,
alone
in a room, you can pretend that this is how it is, this is how it will be.

alone
, but you can't exist on a diet without it, either.

I had made it somewhere special, and I'd gotten there all on my own. Nobody had given it to me. Nobody had told me to do it. I'd climbed and climbed and climbed, and this was my reward. To watch over the world, and to be
alone
with myself. That, I found, was what I needed.

There are many things that can keep you in a relationship," I say. "Fear of being
alone
. Fear of disrupting the arrangement of your life. A decision to settle for something that's okay, because you don't know if you can get any better. Or maybe there's the irrational belief that it will get better, even if you know he won't change.

I had gotten so used to being
alone
, but never entirely used to it. Never used to it enough to stop wanting the alternative.

The unwarranted devotion. Putting up with the fear of being with the wrong person because you can't deal with the fear of being
alone
. The hope tinged with doubt, and the doubt tinged with hope. Every time I see these feelings in someone else's face, it weighs me down.

alone
? don't they realize I have a tinder heart and a paper body and that any spark will turn me straight to ash?

Feeling someone else's anger is bad; being left
alone
is worse.
