It’s a huge thing, this Shift, just as big as I imagined. My brain doesn’t want to think anymore; all of a sudden it wants to do.

That's what gets me through the day. Knowing that I could do it. That I'm strong enough to do it and I can get it done.

I eat not because I want to, not because I have to overcome anything, not to prove myself to anyone, but because it's there. I eat because that's what people do. And somehow when the food is put in front of you by an institution, when there's a large gray force behind it and you don't have to thank anyone for it, you have the animal instinct to make it disappear.

Dreams are only dreams until you wake up and make them real.

I'm done with those; regrets are an excuse for people who have failed.

People are screwed up in this world. I'd rather be with someone screwed up and open about it than somebody perfect and ready to explode.

And I could have died right then. And considering how things went, I really should have.
