If you're lost, you might need to swim against the tide.

A second can feel like forever if what follows is heartbreak.

The ability to keep your mouth shut is usually a sign of intelligence

It has been my experience that rewarding and heartbreaking often go hand in hand.

All reality is a blender where hopes and dreams are mixed with fear and despair.

And just being there is ninety-nine percent of what matters when your world falls apart

I somehow make it through the first month. I dress and brush my teeth when they tell me to. And I experience the hollow feeling of complete loss, which is emptiness.
