"Tradition is the illusion of permanence."
--Woody Allen
Why is it that unspoken traditions hurt more to break than acknowledged ones?
Maybe it's because the other person involved in the tradition hasn't realized that it is one yet; that you know the other person hasn't been thinking about it; that the other person can let you down without ever knowing it; that the next day you have to go on acting like nothing is wrong. Maybe it's because the other person doesn't know how much it means to you or how you could never tell that other person, not because it's embarrassing or that you'd sound clingy, but because there are no words.
From here on out, I'd like not to make traditions. They will only be broken.
So now, whatever happens, happens.
