The Evidence Suggests As Much

I know people who’ve been to Heartbreak and back. It’s a dangerous place, or so I hear.

That sounds strange. It’s like saying they’ve been to hell and back. Maybe there’s really not much difference between the two.

They weren’t ever the same afterwards. It changed them. Whatever it was that happened to them.

Was it love that happened to them?

No. It can’t have been. I’ve heard love is sacred. It’s beautiful and terrible at the same time. It can’t have been.

Perhaps it was unrequited love.

No. Unrequited love can still be beautiful, if you love the right person. Just because they don’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you at all. Sometimes, that’s enough.

How would you know?

I wouldn’t.

That’s right. You wouldn’t.

How do you know the universe is infinite?

I don’t. But I believe it is. Because the evidence suggests as much.

Exactly. Because all the evidence suggests as much.
