I’m back, back in the New York groove.

We have to get used to the idea that no one cares as much as us, because guess what, they don’t. Succeed, fail, whatever, no one is going to give you a pat on the back for spending all hours of the day studying, or researching, or giving up everything to write. So we’ve got to just do it for ourselves.

Growth is painful. Change is painful.But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.

I like people who have a sense of individuality. I love expression and anything awkward and imperfect, because that’s natural and that’s real.

5000letters

Leaving is not enough. You must stay gone. Train your heart like a dog. Change the locks on a house he’s never visited. You lucky, lucky girl. You have an apartment just your size. A bathtub full of tea, a heart the size of Arizona but not nearly so arid. Don’t wish away your cracked past, your crooked toes, your problems are papier mache puppets you made or bought because the vendor at the market was so compelling you just had to have them. You had to have him. And you did. And now you pulled down the bridge between your houses, you make him call before he visits, you take a lover for granted, you take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic. Make the first bottle you consume in this place a relic. Place it on whatever alter you fashion with a knife and five cranberries. Don’t lose too much weight. Stupid girls are always trying to disappear as revenge. And you are not stupid. You loved a man with more hands than a parade of beggars. And here you stand. Heart like a four poster bed. Heart like a canvas. Heart leaking something so strong they can smell it in the street.
