“Nothing extraordinary is ever done out of reason or logic, but because it’s the only way for your soul to breathe.”

“Do you truly want my judgement?” I asked.
That caught his attention. His eyes grew clearer, sharper. I wondered if he realized he was awake, but his eyes held a fevered intensity that I doubted he would let me witness if he thought this was real instead of a dream.
“Yes,” he answered, very quietly, so quiet I could barely hear.
“You aren’t a good person, but I think that you could be if you tried. So perhaps you should try.”
For a long time, he didn’t respond. It wasn’t until I stood up to leave the room that he spoke.
“Thank you,” he said softly and seemed to mean it.”

“For a long time, I wanted people to change--to be less cruel, to be decent, to be fair, to tell the truth. That would be lovely. But I'm not waiting around for that. I'm deciding who gets to enter my spaces, my heart, my mind, my living room, because I'm responsible for those places, no one else. I'm responsible to protect my mind, my heart, my family.”
