And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening, people writing songs that voices never share and no one dared disturb the sound of silence.
I am sick of high me creating awkward situations for sober me to deal with.
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Janet Fitch, from her novel titled "White Oleander," originally published in 1999
I was disaster. I was sorrow. I was war. I was death... And If you are broken inside, I'm totally dead, too close, too much.
every now and again i feel the need to remind myself that my life is never too deeply rooted in anything. a fresh start is as simple as making the decision to start anew.
Let me be sad, it is the only way I know how to squeeze out the last drop of happiness, and then I won’t suffer as much later on.
Pedro Lemebel, My Tender Matador (translated by Katherine Silver)
