There's a part of me which has always wanted to hear a man say, "Let me take care of you forever," and I have never heard it spoken before. Over the last few years, I'd given up looking for that person, learned how to say this heartening sentence to myself, especially in times of fear. But to hear it from someone else now, from someone who is speaking sincerely.

Mostly you meet friends when traveling by accident, like by sitting next to them on the train, or in a restaurant, or in a holding cell.

Traveling-to-a-place energy and living-in-a-place energy are two fundamentally different energies

Oh my God, baby, you are in so much trouble.

I spent a week living as a man. Which was actually, I'm sorry to say, embarrassingly easy for me to do.

Sanity and clarity are more important for me and I'm willing to give up a lot of shimmer for it. I'm willing to have more boring friends, who are sane.

Our relationship now thoroughly ruined, with even civility destroyed between us, all I wanted anymore was the door.
