We can change so many times in our lives. We're born into a family, and it's the only life we can imagine, but it changes. Buildings collapse. Fires burn. And the next second we're someplace else entirely, going through different motions and trying to keep up with this new person we've become.

Did you tell freedom hello for me?

A party in the orange grove. The pain on Linden's face is immediate. I am unwavering. He has cost me more pain than I will ever be able to repay.

‎I have always been fascinated by the ocean, to dip a limb beneath its surface and know that I'm touching eternity, that it goes on forever until it begins here again.

I always knew I was an excellent liar; I just didn't know that I had it in me to fool myself.

When I am writing anything in general, I just want to tell the story that exists in my head; I don't try to write a parable or make a point.

To die trying would be better than to die without purpose.
