“You never understood what death meant until it calimed someone you were so close to. When it did, then you truly shook death's hands.”

“Living it up to me meant getting drunk...; it meant losing myself in anything that could take the past away. I wanted to be numb; I wanted to never feel again. After all that had happened in the last couple years, I just wanted a way to forget it all.”

“It was always the same feeling of sadness that washed over me when I drank. I never understood why I hadn't realized that if i stayed away from liqour, I might not be so depressed all the time about him. Maybe it was a sick form of torture that i really enjoyed.”

“Trust, you give it and you take it away. You believe it with everything you have in you, you allow your heart to trust somebody else. I trusted very few in life, but sometimes you just needed to give in and fight the urge to flee.”

“Loving someone isn’t a hard task, it’s not a chore, you don’t wake up one day and decide to break their heart because you got all hot and bothered, that doesn’t happen!” he boomed.”

“I grabbed a robe and a fireplace poker and headed down the stairs at a snail's pace. I was sure I loved him, but I wasn’t prepared to be brutally murdered to save a man of his size. He was on his own. Unless of course, it was a mob of uncompromising zombies. Then I might have attempted to fight beside him. I shook my head, nearly laughing at this point.”

“But a whole bottle was what made me feel dead inside. And it worked, all the days stress was gone and I was able to live without the gigantic knot in my stomach. Without the boulders weighing down my shoulders.”

“Kenny rested his hand on my leg, patting it delicately. His thoughts staying just that, thoughts, as we drove in silence, back to my prison of paradise, back to the one place I knew I could be happy, yet miserable, all in the same day.”

“You are trying to take this whole situation and push it down, and hide it. It’s not going to get you anywhere.”

“You don’t need to drink to get over your feelings. Deal with your feelings that’s how you get over them,”

“I fantasized how no matter what happened, no one could ever come between us, call it wishful thinking, I called it a fact.”

“I rolled my eyes, trying to keep my eyes off his body, just the sight of his abs or arms was enough to make me want to get naked and let Carlo take over anything he wanted.”

“You took life by the horns and tried to hold on tight, for fear of being ripped to shreds, left bloodied and battered.”

“If we didn’t love one another, there wouldn’t be an issue.”

“Oh get over yourself, so you can kill people, I could shoot you in your face if I wanted to, anyone can do what you do!”

“People expected something for nothing, that’s why they did nothing so beautifully these days.”

“Impending doom, it was a familiar sweater, we all wore it and as scratchy as it felt against our skin, we kept it on.”

“Ok look man, you clearly are not hard up for money, you’re driving a range rover, so call whoever has your jaguar or benz and ask them to help you out. I got things to do.”

“We tend to get a little information before we off people. It’s not a play by ear sort of deal.”

“I wanted to play with death, like a child with a new toy, I wanted to push all the buttons and see what would happen.”

“So just let me deal with it, I can be emotionally flawed and still love you all at the same time. I’m a great multitasker.”

“Trust to some was placing all your insecurities and beliefs in one single person, and hoping he or she wouldn’t squash them.”

“When your demon was yourself, there really was no way to fight or get rid of it.”

“Everyone is screwed up, the ones who try to say they aren’t, they’re the ones who are the worst off.”

“I was such a messed up person and he was still holding on.”

“You need to grow up, and realize what it is you need right now, and what you can live without.”

“As odd as it seemed, I learned that people may disappoint you, yes, but the one thing they also did was surprise you. Some of the best people were also some of the worst, there was no way to judge anyone really, you had to let them prove something.”

“All I knew was, my Father was famous for being a loser, and a loser that wanted nothing to do with me, since the day I was born.”

“Life was sucked from me, not any life, my life. And so it goes…..”

“Let’s all try to be fearless, sometimes we wish for the most perfect of outcomes and we arrive at the most unforgettable. Life can be scary and leave us hiding, but when we come out of hiding, we may realize, that life was the one thing that we could always count on…”

“Life is a ride that we take, sometimes with a passenger, other timesall alone. How you bounce back from life tells a lot about you as aperson. Some people fight to the death, others are more a part of deathand never truly understand why this is so……”

“Death is around everyone’s corner, people try to run and hide from it, but it al-ways catches up with them. Like a bad scene from a horror movie. Death stalks you like a lion, waiting for just the right moment to attack. You can run but sooner or later you’ll trip and death will devour you. Did anyone know the secret to outrun death? No one that lived to tell about it, that’s saying something right?”

“If we became a pal to what scared us the most, we could find a simple way to ease all that bothered us, we would find peace, peace that we could live with.”

“Satan impregnated my mother one lovely spring morning. We didn’t have the heart to tell my father.”
