Sometimes I think I won't ever feel safe until I can count my last days on one hand.
I would have done anything to feel real again.
I've always believed clear-eyed sobriety was for the harder hearted.
The face you give the world tells the world how to treat you.
To pretend to be calm is to be calm, in a way.
It was surprising that you could spend hours in the middle of the night pretending things were OK, and know in thirty seconds of daylight that that simply wasn't so.
