“I am writing because they told me to never start a sentence with because. But I wasn't trying to make a sentence—I was trying to break free. Because freedom, I am told, is nothing but the distance between the hunter and its prey.”

“Sometimes being offered tenderness feels like the very proof that you've been ruined.”

“I wanted to explain myself to myself in an understandable way. I gave shape to my fears and made excuses. I varied my velocities, watched myselves sleep.

If I fell through the floor I would keep falling.
The enormity of my desire disgusts me.”
