"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,<br /> There is a rapture on the lonely shore,<br /> There is society, where none intrudes,<br /> By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:<br /> I love not Man the less, but Nature more." <br /> -Lord Byron

crying over spilled milk,
is not about
crying over little things.
it's 
when you've been not crying,
for too long.
and the milk
is that last crack
in your façade of okay.
