“He knows what he'll find if he digs deeper. there's no rush to unpack my insides. he understands there is nothing special about emptiness, nothing interesting about depression.”

“Nothingness
It is only in nothing...
A damp, dull, nothingness
Those cold, sharp, empty spaces
In our times of scarcity and loss
That we understand the true meaning of everything
And the indelible value of what was cost”
― Beating Hearts and Butterflies: Poetry of Wounds, Wishes and Wisdom

“Eventually, however, the denial turned into emptiness and my childhood ended.”

― The Toughest Prison of All
“I wasn’t empty because I was abandoned by others, but because I had abandoned myself. Who I am was repressed—collateral damage in a longterm coping mechanism gone unchecked. My subconscious had put up partitions to contain the flood of emotion in the wake of trauma but in doing so my identity was trapped and locked away as well. Everything that is repressed would one day come forward—without warning, without control, and without a shutoff valve.”
