"I think it's pretty common to hold onto people, to bribe them with things, say, a body, in the hopes of keeping them from leaving you. I don't think it's uncommon to invert such behaviors, to become something unlovable, in an effort to speed up the process of the inevitable. Fighting is an instinct. So is running. Everybody knows how to destroy a good thing. It's easy."

Attachment

"I love like a beaten child and I trust like an addict."

Trust

"My desperation is deliberate. Despondency's a pheromone."

Struggle

"My slurred speech isn't from one or nine drinks too many, it's from my father."

Trauma

"I dye my jeans jet black once a week, but they never seem dark enough. I bleach my hair bright white twice a month but it never seems light enough. I drink two and a half bottles of champagne every night but I never seem drunk enough. And I know I'm not high enough until someone grabs my face to check my vision to see if I'm still responsive- And even then, I'm thinking to myself that I should probably do one more line, you know, just to be safe."

Addiction

"I gave them everything I had, and I guess it feelsalright.I gave them my body,and they use it every night."

Pain

"I think it's imperative that we continue confusing light with meaning. That's how the human race evolves. Someone sees a light, names it God, goes toward it, goes up in flames. Same goes for moths. We're all animals. There's nothing revolutionary about evolution. The process itself relies solely on stupidity. We fuck up in the hopes that future fuckups will learn from us."

Evolution

"Repression is dangerous. It makes anvils of memories and drops them from impossible heights when you least expect it."

Healing

"I'm a lot like you,and you're a lot like me.It's sad to say,and it's sad to see."

Humanity

"Cry wolf often enough and you eventually get eaten by the wolf, even if the wolf is you."
