“A strange thing just happened involving a stranger and my tits… I’m feeling very strange about the strange thing with the strange stranger.”

“Our faces are so close together that all I can really see is her eyes. Her pupils are dilated in the low light of midnight, the black almost entirely taking over the green. Right in the corner of her eye, there is a reflection of glittering starlight. I suspect that if I pulled away and looked out at the stars, I would finally be able to see what all the poets of the world have been describing all this time. I would see how the stars stud the darkness like brilliant diamonds, or like scattered moondust, or like the twinkling lights of an unexplored city in the sky. But I don’t look. I don’t take my eyes off Ellie. The thousands of beautiful stars hanging in the velvet sky can get on without me. I’d rather look at this tiny glint of silver in Ellie’s eyes.”

“The world is still turning, and I am still a part of it, even as I sit here alone. I feel connected, yet tethered to nothing. I feel light and free, and once again aware of all the loveliness life has to offer.
I want to do more than just sit here and watch, though. I want to go a step further than simply allowing myself to be carried along by the lovely things happening around me. It is time for me to make good things happen for myself. By myself”
