Writing is how I stay sane. It's completely necessary.

Scars are stories, history written on the body

My days are as long as despair can make them.

The dizzy rapture of starving. The power of needing nothing. By force of will I make myself the impossible sprite who lives on air, on water, on purity.

There aren't many people in our history who have so completely surrendered themselves to a mission that they would give up their lives for it.

Sometimes there's a sort of tear in the veil, and there are people who live in more than one dimension.

As a young woman, I was so eager to please that I served others' happiness and even their values before my own. It didn't earn me love, but it did deliver me to a place where I had to choose between what I thought of myself and what other people did. I chose myself.
