Okay.

I feel like making you deaf would be a little much. And also too easy. Because the issue isn't that you don't hear, it's that you don't listen. And I can't teach you to listen. You have to learn how to do that yourself. Learn how to conserve your energy. Stop wasting time on a system that's never gonna love you back.

I mean, don't you think that's kind of pathetic? Unrequited love. Who gives a shit.
