“Hospice care? No, you must mean Frisbee game. Because there's no way my brother and I aren't outside right now playing Frisbee in the middlle of the street in the middle of summer and there are weird bugs everywhere no matter how much bug spray we put on ourselves and our mom is coming out to tell us for the third and final time, C'mon inside kids, it's getting dark.”
Anne Clendening, Bent: How Yoga Saved My Ass

“You are a beautiful death goddess, do you hear me?

Death goddess. I need that on a T-shirt, I mumbled.”
