“I mourn the piece of myself that I gave away and will never get back”
“Each piece of glass is another piece of myself I gave to him. It's too bad I didn't keep any pieces for myself.”
“You can quicker get back a million dollars that was stolen than a word that you gave away.”
“When I'm with him, I can feel myself getting better. It's like he's picking up broken pieces of me and putting me back together, and I don't even know he's doing it. We never talk about it. We don't go to therapy. He just loves me and that's enough.”
“But once in a while . . . I don't know. I feel so close, Rose. So close to the edge. Like if I allow myself one small misstep, I'll plunge away and never come back. It's like I'll lose myself.”
“I never gave away anything without wishing I had kept it; nor kept anything without wishing I had given it away.”
