“To be a natural presence, you shouldn't take up too much space, which I always found easy at the beginning of a friendship. It felt nice to reshape myself into precisely the right format until the moment came, usually once I'd shrunk to my minimum size, when I got moody. I always have to be careful what I say around you, my friends would say. Or if I suddenly lost my temper over something that hadn't previously angered me, they'd say, I don't have enough space for this. Then I would know that my presence was no longer a given and it was all my fault -- it wasn't fair to pretend I was something other than who I really was, to keep shapeshifting like some kind of Barbapapa. I'm either too much or too little. I'm terrible at dispensing the right dose of myself.”

“Sometimes I wonder how it feels like to be nothing at all
Shattered and lonely, just fearing downfall.
When the world hits you hard, smashes you down,
Where the people you loved are forever gone.
Sometimes I wonder if happiness existed
Sadness would not be any of our business.
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever feel complete
The negativity to my life will automatically delete.
Sometimes I wonder how it feels like to be nothing at all.
Shattered and lonely, just fearing downfall.”
