“My life isn’t good or bad. It’s an incredible series of emotional and mental extremes with beautiful thunderstorms and stunning sunrises.”

“I must be an emotional archaeologist because I keep looking for the roots of things, particularly the roots of behavior and why I feel certain ways about certain things.”

“I’m tired. I’m tired in that way that settles around the eyes and reveals just a little too much, a little too soon. Tired in that way that lacks imagination—that can’t imagine anything changing, ever… I know this feeling will pass. And I know I’ll get my courage back. And I know I’ll figure out how to care a little less about the small cruelties of others. But today I do. And today it’s hard.”

“I am awfully sentimental. Of books, belongings, people, places. It matters very little how positive or negative the experience was. If it shared some meaningful time in my life, I’ll have trouble letting go.”

“I’m a romantic, and we romantics are more sensitive to the way people feel. We love more, and we hurt more. When we’re hurt, we hurt for a long time.”

“You are fucking sunshine and I swear sometimes it seems too long till I see your morning light and feel your warmth on my skin, you are blinding as if I’m never meant to see another thing.”

“There is no patience in this body. There is only enormous wanting. No one speaks of the stunning weight of it— how desire pulls us through the world as though our limbs are attached to the strings of a clumsy marionette.”
