Suddenly this is all too hard. I am tired of putting up walls. I want someone with the strength - and the honesty - to break them down.

No matter how much you consumed, you would not have your fill.

When you have been burned by fire once, you don't leap into the flames again.

If you ask me, music is the language of memory

Lately, I have been having nightmares, where I'm cut into so many pieces that there isn't enough of me to be put back together.

don't say it. don't tell me that nobody's going to stare at me, because they will. don't tell me it doesn't matter, because it does. and don't tell me i look fine because that's a lie.

The first time someone I loved left me behind...I didn't know how my family would balance. We had been such a sturdy little end table, four solid legs. I was sure we would now be off-kilter, always unstable. Until one day I looked more closely, and realized that we had simply become a stool.
