“you are unimportant to the important!”

“It’s scary telling someone you care about, someone you love who you really are.”

“Losing your job is like having your identity stolen, like having what defined you run through a paper shredder. After a while the despair gets you, and it gets you good.”

“you had to have happiness to miss happiness!”

“sleepin with strangers will have you waking with enemies!”

“You want to put a band-aid on something that needs stitches.”

“People know your tragedies and they treat you like you’re not human. Like you’re a three-headed goat. A monster from some other planet. They keep reminding you of your pain. You see how they look at me? They’re stuck on that person I used to be. They can’t see that old life as just a moment in time that I’ve moved on from. It was a horrible life.”
