“I like the memories because they remind meI haven't always beenthis girl,constantly mad or scaredor confused.”

“Everything’s always changing.Nothing stays the same.Yesterday’s gone forever,I’ve got memories and my name.”

“Memories fall like snowflakes upon my dreams. The snowflakes toss and tumble, each different and yet the same.”

“I know. You can be fine, and then,out of nowhere,a memory blindsides you.”

“Another long run, hoping to put distance between me and everything else. The farther, the better. Only problem is, the distance is just temporary, because no matter how far I go, I always have to come back.”

“When he opens the door, I step in and an army of memories comes at me from all sides.”

“Guilt reminds me of a stray cat. You chase it away and yet, it comes back when you least expect it. If you let yourself feel pity for it and feed the thing, it parks its ugly, puny, lonely-for-attention butt on your doormat and won't go away. Scat kitty cat, scat. I don't need you sitting around here like that.”
