Writing, painting, singing -- it cannot stop everything. Cannot halt death in its tracks. But perhaps it can make the pause between death's footsteps sound and look and feel beautiful, can make the space of waiting a place where you can linger without as much fear. For we are all walking each other to our deaths, and the journey there between footsteps makes up our lives.

I have tried to be righteous all my life. Yet I have never been content.

Some things are created to be together.

I'm falling in love. I am in love. And it's not with Xander, though I do love him. I'm sure of that, as sure as I am of the fact what I feel for Ky is something different.

Once you want something, everything changes. Now I want everything. More and more and more.

How can we appreciate anything fully when overwhelmed with too much?
