“It's a little bit devastating being surrounded by people who can do what you can't anymore. People who create. People whose souls don't live in their bodies anymore because they've leached so much of themselves into their work.”

“People who go around advertising their birthdays are douchebags. It's a fact. You can look it up on Wikipedia.”

“And there are so many missing that the ones that are left don't fit together anymore.”

“I don't really care what people say about me. I'm fine with lies and rumors. It's the truth I don't want being told.”

“I was ripped out of the water and thrown and smashed into a thousand pieces that I can't put back together. I don't know where they go. And there are so many missing that the ones that are left don't fit together anymore. I think I'll stay in pieces. I can shift them, rearrange, depending on the day, depending on what I need to be.”
