“We laughed and laughed, together and separately, out loud and silently. We were determined to ignore whatever needed to be ignored, to build a new world from nothing if nothing in our world could be salvaged. It was one of the best days of my life, a day during which I lived my life and didn’t think about my life at all.”

— Jonathan Safran Foer

"Sun sets on the city.

Tree lines become parking lots.

Drowning in the ubiquity.

A vagabond finds home amongst shadowy alleys and anywhere else out of sight.

Sidewalks crack.

Lying in the dark waiting to feel whole again."

"To the apologies I never sent.

The apologies I never will send.

Who are they for?

The past lovers?

The broken friendships?

Empty auditoriums and burned bridges.

An apology.

Or is it self-righteous masturbation?

Accept your maladies.

Develop and do better."

Izumi Shikibu, from a poem featured in Japanese Poetic Diaries; The Diary of Izumi Shikibu

“Someone who truly loves you, sees what a mess you can be, how moody you can get, and how hard you can be to handle, but still wants you.”
