Oh. Who are you and why are you talking to me?
//lol chill max//
I want…talk to…da-David…
You got it, pal. *places the tissue in Max’
hand and stands up. Offers his hand.* He’s in the counselor cabins, right? Want
me to walk with you?…okay…
*gently takes his other hand and starts
walking* It’ll be okay, Max.No, it won’t, but thanks for the sentiment I guess…
It will be okay. Take it from me – you’re not
going to be where you are forever. You’ll grow and you’ll learn. Your entire
life doesn’t have to be about what’s going on right now.But right now this is my entire life. There is no then, there is only a now. My perception is here, and my perception is what’s happening at this time. This is now, and this is my pocket of reality. Yes, it will shift sometime, but right now this is my world, my life, and this is what’s going on.
*nods* Of course. I’m not trying to invalidate
your feelings. I just… know that sometimes you might think that this is all
there is. Talking to an adult who wants to help you is a great step forward.This. Here. This moment. This is all that exists. If you think about it, everything is happening at the exact moment, I’m born, I live, and I die, all at the same time. This here, is everything, and nothing. At the same time.
Huh. You know, you’re starting to sound a
little like the folks in the town where I’m from.
*they’re at the cabin. Carlos looks at Max to
see if he still wants to talk to David*
