I love the way music inside a car makes you feel invisible; if you plan the stereo at max volume, it's almost like the other people can't see into your vehicle. It tints your windows, somehow.

This made her remember why people take up walking: It is because they no longer have anywhere to go.

Seeing no resolution to my existential recognition of loss, I decide to eat lunch.

I am ready to be alone.

Some say that time is like water that flows around us (like a stone in the river) and some say we flow with time (like a twig floating on the surface of the water).

This is what being alive feels like, you know? The place doesn't matter. You just live.

When given the choice, we’d all rather be happy now … even if that guarantees we’ll all be sad later.
