“I made up my mind that I would hold onto nothing, that I would expect nothing.”
“Only when I hold onto nothing can I be the best, only then can I be what they expect me to be.”
“I made up my mind that nothing,, nothing was going to stop meNot even me.”
“My very existence, my life in the world, seemed like a hallucination. A strong wind would make me think my body was about to be blown to the end of the earth, to some land I had never seen or heard of, where my mind and body would separate forever. “Hold tight,” I would tell myself, but there was nothing for me to hold on to.”
“I knew I had found my angel at last and I would hold onto her with everything I had.”
“An empty room holds nothing but memories. At least it would, if I didn’t just finish packing up the last of the sadness.”
