This last source is perhaps more painful to use than any other. (p77)”

    “a story about a girl who thought a boy liked her, and maybe could save her from herself, but in the end she was just stupid, stupid because she’s a fucking freak, but if she could just make it through the night, there was going to be another chance, another day. Maybe, maybe maybe.”

    “Everyone has that moment, I think, the moment when something so… momentous happens that it rips your very being into small pieces. And then you have to stop. For a long time, you gather your pieces. And it takes such a long time, not to fit them back together, but to assemble them in a new way, not necessarily a better way. More, a way you can live with until you know for certain that this piece should go there, and that one there.”

    Augusten Burroughs
    “I know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn’t deserve it. Because they are all you have. Because any attention is better than no attention. For exactly the same reason, it is sometimes satisfying to cut yourself and bleed. On those gray days where eight in the morning looks no different from noon and nothing has happened and nothing is going to happen and you are washing a glass in the sink and it breaks-accidentally-and punctures your skin. And then there is this shocking red, the brightest thing in the day, so vibrant it buzzes, this blood of yours. That is okay sometimes because at least you know you’re alive.”
