Sean: Do you have a soul mate?
Will: Define that.
Sean: Someone you can relate to, someone who opens things up for you.
Will: Sure, I got plenty.
Sean: Well, name them.
Will: Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Frost, O’Conner…
Sean: Well that’s great. They’re all dead.
Will: Not to me, they’re not.
Sean: You can’t have a lot of dialogue with them.
Will: Not without a heater and some serious smelling salts.

Do most of us know depression and the crappy gifts it brings? Many more than what makes you comfortable, this I promise you.
Did most of us know Robin Williams personally? Not so much. Do we know how his death makes us feel? Hell yes.
Sometimes the demons wins.
I love you Peter Pan,
