“I feel like I could eat the world raw.”
“the pain of that first lost was still raw. You could deal with it, endure it, but never escape it.”

“This toast feels raw. Is it safe to eat raw toast?”
“There are two things we should always be 1. raw and 2. ready. When you are raw, you are always ready and when you are ready you usually realize that you are raw.
