Words have power. The power to soothe. The power to skewer someone through the heart. The power to render someone speechless.

Was the fun in the fall?

Funny how when your life is mostly bullshit, you turn off feeling. Sometimes it's hard to turn it back on again.

Communication Was never big in my house. We sat together over dinner, but the only sound you'd hear was crunching and chewing and the little ones asking for more, please. We lived, all boxed up in invisible containers. We hardly knew the people we called sister or father. Jackie and I were the exceptions to that rule.

Life is full of choices. We don't always make good ones.

Love means holding on to someone just as hard as you can because if you don't, one blink and they might disappear...forever.

The monster likes to talk; he jumps into your head and opens your mouth, making it spout your deepest darkest deceptions. Making you say all the things you'd rather not say, at least not in mixed company." (Ellen Hopkins)
