West Texas

I am grateful in spite of all things. 

Thank you for teaching me how.

Universe

"Kiss my ass, Universe. You can't keep me down."

Summer

"Life is no longer meaningless, 

but I am still God's joke.

But there's no hard feelings."

"I'll be honest with you: I've been waiting 12 years for a night as dark and cold as this one to wrap my arms around you and keep you warm."

The Iron

The Iron is the only thing helping me dig myself out of this hole. 

Physical destruction is a small price to pay for escaping mental, emotional and existential death.

No matter what we did or could have done, she never stood a chance.

That's why I'm angry. 

The injustice and cruelty of creation.

Inhabit the Wound

I need time to heal, I need time to mend and I don't have it. 

I am a walking open wound.

I don't know how people do this for 80 years.

Avery Finn (Memorial)

I want to find the nearest brick wall and punch it over and over until I break every bone in my hand.

This is a level of rage that even I myself am unfamiliar with. 

And now I have to learn to live without you.

Forgive me.
