On my first visit to the public library, I was like a kid at a candy store where all the candy was free. I gorged myself until my tummy ached.

Maybe I'm sad about wanting you. I'm not too comfortable with wanting someone.

Even a mistake is better than nothing.

I love the sea because it is boundless.

Something about being rejected at Church Camp felt so much more awful than being rejected at school.

and yet I feel that the most real home I'll ever have is the space where our roads merged and traveled along together... for a time.

How satisfying it is to leave a mark on a blank surface. To make a map of my movement - no matter how temporary.
