"Hey, Katherine."
"Hey. Nice night?"
"I wish I lived in the country."
"Um... why?"
"To see the stars."
"You like them a lot, don't you?"
"I suppose."
"Wait... is that a cigarette?"
"It is."
"But your not smoking it?"
"I'm trying not to."
"Good... how was your day?"
"Oh, fine. Fine fine fine."
"That fine?"
"Yeah."
"So... not fine."
"Want to hear a joke?"
"I'd love one."
"Hey boy, wanna seize the day with me? Because carpe dayum."
"Haha."
"Why are you so sad all the time?"
"I'm not... I just... you always catch me when I'm feeling fragile."
"Fragile?"
"That's not the right word... when everything is hitting me. Up here is where I always collected myself."
"Oh."
"God, you probably think I'm bi-polar."
"Maybe just a bit."
"Well... I'm just stressed out. It's a tough semester."
"I'm not judging, I mean, I'm hardly the poster girl for perfect mental health."
"Thanks."
"For not having perfect mental health?"
"For being here."
