There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.

i love unhinged women but i also love women who try so fucking hard to be hinged. clinging to those hinges by her fingernails.

I love things like this. E would probably say it’s me being very German and wanting to categorize and order everything.

Do you ever feel like people want pieces of you but never all of you?

And then there are other days.

I'm slaying dragons left and right. The world is exactly where it needs to be. An old man gives me cuttings from one of his trees and I share the taste of my childhood with those I love.

Each second is a battle for barely an inch of peaceful ground, but I do have this. My little victories. By the gods, I will learn to embrace them the way my failures wrap tight around my throat. One day, I will take pride in what I have accomplished here: this beautiful, charmed volume in a life not-yet lived.

The Greek Slave (detail) 1844- Hiram Powers (American, 1805–1873)

“I ached for her. With my flesh. In my mind. Deep inside parts of me I didn’t want anyone to know. It was a mix of pain and desire, a tormented craving. Something I couldn’t live without, and yet, I could barely tolerate. To lose it would mean to forget her. That, I couldn’t do. So I continued to suffer in sweet, delicious agony. And while I did, I knew I was truly alive.”

one memory refuses to go with you, seventeenth of april our bewildered gazes meet, bonfire light dancing across your tranquil face. they say the written word remains, but so are the unspoken things between two people who look back as they walk away from each other. in that sliver of time i am sure you loved me. like an alpenglow; softly, ethereally, fleetingly.

When I got my first tattoo I told my rather beautiful tattoo artist that I refused to be a wuss and she said “Oh dont worry, if you squirm I will pin you down.”

And that lives in my head rent free.
