In the face of the beautiful-awful-tragic-absurd-mundane-heartbreaking-impossible-wonderful,
all I can think to say is:
and even this...
“I record my life, sifting and trying to separate what is real from what I’ve dreamed. I have decided not to tell you what is fact versus what is unfact primarily because (a) I am giving you a portrait of the essence of me, and (b) because, living where I do, living in the chasm that cuts through thought, it is lonely… come with me, reader. I am toying with you, yes, but for a real reason. I am asking you to enter the confusion with me, to give up the ground with me, because sometimes that frightening floaty place is really the truest of all. Kierkegaard says, 'The greatest lie of all is the feeling of firmness beneath our feet. We are most honest when we are lost.' Enter that lostness with me. Live in the place I am, where the view is murky, where the connecting bridges and orienting maps have been surgically stripped away.”
— Lauren Slater
“I want to be remembered as the girl who always smiles even when her heart is broken, and the one that could always brighten up your day even if she couldn’t brighten her own.”

All three of Tom Cruise’s wives were 33 at time of divorce. According to MSNBC:
Cruise’s first wife was Mimi Rogers (born in 56), who was 31 when she wed 25-year-old Cruise in May 1987 and 33 when they broke up in 1990.
Cruise then married Nicole Kidman (born in 67), 23, in December of 1990, and then separated in 2001, when Kidman was 33.
Katie Holmes (born in 78), 28, and Cruise wed in 2006, seven months after daughter Suri was born. And when word came Friday that Holmes had filed for divorce, those with a sense of Cruise history noted that Holmes was also 33.The 33 Club. Also look at the pattern with the birth year. His next wife will be born in 89.

Coincidence? I think so.
Queue the conspiracy theories and “illuminati, Mason naysayers”. lol.
