But when I thought I hit bottom, it started hitting back. There is no bruise like the bruise loneliness kicks into your spine.

The holy have done more damage to this world than the devil ever could.

A doctor once told me I feel too much. I said, so does god. that’s why you can see the grand canyon from the moon.

and I wonder if Beethoven held his breath the first time his fingers touched the keys the same way a soldier holds his breath the first time his finger clicks the trigger. We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe.

When your heart is broken, you plant seeds in the cracks and pray for rain.

Before I die, I want to be somebody’s favorite hiding place, the place they can put everything they know they need to survive, every secret, every solitude, every nervous prayer, and be absolutely certain I will keep it safe. I will keep it safe.

I am living today as someone I had not yet become yesterday and tonight I will borrow only pieces of who I am today to carry with me to tomorrow.
