I think in a way, you're doomed, once you can envision something. you're sort of doomed to make it happen. i've found that the moment i can envision leaving a relationship, that's usually the moment that the relationship starts to fall apart.

Fall Thinking Leaving

More From Chuck Palahniuk

Everything that comes together falls apart. everything. the chair i’m sitting on. it was built, and so it will fall apart. i’m gonna fall apart, probably before this chair. and you’re gonna fall apart. the cells and organs and systems that make you you—they came together, grew together, and so must fall apart. the buddha knew one thing science didn’t prove for millennia after his death: entropy increases. things fall apart.
Fall Cells Together
What is a scene? a) a scene starts and ends in one place at one time (the aristotelian unities of time and place-this stuff goes waaaayyyy back). b) a scene starts in one place emotionally and ends in another place emotionally. starts angry, ends embarrassed. starts lovestruck, ends disgusted. c) something happens in a scene, whereby the character cannot go back to the way things were before. make sure to finish a scene before you go on to the next. make something happen.
Character Unity Goes On
After a pause, he asked, 'what do you think of nasuada's plans?' 'mmm...she's doomed! you're doomed! they're all doomed!'she cackled, doubling over, then straightened abruptly. 'notice i didn't specify what kind of doom, so no matter what happens, i predicted it. how very wise of me.' she lifted the basket again, setting it on one hip. 'i supposed i won't see you for a while, so farewell, best of luck, avoid roasted cabbage, don't eat earwax, and look on the bright side of life!' and with a cheery wink, she strolled off, leaving eragon blinking and nonplussed.
Wise Farewell Thinking
If [sean] doesn't see me a few days or if i'm really, really busy, and i just sort of get a glimpse of him, or if i'm feeling depressed without him even seeing me, he sort of picks up on it. and he starts getting that way. so i can no longer afford to have artistic depressions. if i start wallowing in a depression, he'll start coming down with stuff, so i'm sort of obligated to keep up. and sometimes i can't, because something will make me depressed and sure as hell he'll get a cold or trap his finger in a door or something, and so now i have sort of more reason to stay healthy or bright.
Parenting Doors Healthy
I think people sometimes get the wrong impression when they're like, oh, well, so-and-so was straight and then she was gay, and now she's straight again, you know? but it's like, how many times do i have to kiss a woman before i'm gay? everybody wants to label people. sometimes you just fall in love with somebody, and you're really not thinking about what gender or whatever they happen to be. it think that if i happen to fall in love with a woman, everyone's going to make a big deal out of it. but if i happen to fall in love with a man, nobody cares.
Falling In Love Gay Kissing
I leave, and the leaving is so exhilarating i know i can never go back. but then what? do i just keep leaving places, and leaving them, and leaving them, tramping a perpetual journey?
