"I used to love youI still doSo SelfishI love the old youThe you that didnt shoot drugs...The you that didnt get beat on by menYou laugh in my face and call me a foolBut its trueI still love youSometimes,I can see the old youWhen your eyes flashWhen you almost look alive"

"We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success."

"The month of November makes me feel that life is passing more quickly. In an effort to slow it down, I try to fill the hours more meaningfully."

"Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better."

"I am ready for whatever's coming. I expect nothing but to be let down or turned away. I am alone. Goddamn. The shit hurts sometimes, but I realize what I am, what I have become."

"Hope is the last thing a person does before they are defeated."

"Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on."

"I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone."

"Hope is the last thing a person does before they are defeated."

"Scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue. Realize the strength, move on."

"I spend several days at a time without enough sleep. At first, normal activities become annoying. When you are too tired to eat, you really need some sleep. A few days later, things become strange. Loud noises become louder and more startling, familiar sounds become unfamiliar, and life reinvents itself as a surrealist dream."

"Life will not break your heart. It'll crush it."
