I told him to buy land, my mum says, they’re not making it anymore.

The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person.

When you're an addict, you can go without feeling anything except drunk or stoned or hungry. Still, when you compare this to other feelings, to sadness, anger, fear, worry, despair, and depression, well, an addiction no longer looks so bad. It looks like a very viable option.

Get through the moment. Avoid confrontation. Run away. That's pretty much how we get through our own lives, watching television. Smoking crap. Self-medicating. Redirecting our own attention. Jacking off. Denial.

We opened our hearts. Hear me, heal me, save me, believe me.

The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.
