I am so in love with the way the character of Don Draper unfolds in "Mad Men." The way he blows through all of his relationships like a fucking hurricane, grasping wildly at whatever he can get his hands on, just to see it all slip through his fingers. The way he holds himself responsible to no one but himself, hurting every single person he cares about because he doesn't know what he wants - he knows only the impulses that move him moment to moment. The way he manipulates everything to see it only how he wants to see it. The way he's constantly searching for a way to fit into everything that's changing around him. The way he tries to escape in every sense possible.

I have got to stop immersing myself in fictional worlds instead of dealing with real life.
