“It’s a strange dichotomy, so it is; feeling and knowing; the feeling feels truer than the knowing of its falseness.”

“they think I have a strange way of suffering, just like they think I have a strange way of loving. They tell me it scares them when I say it suits me having things just the way they are. The thing that scares me shitless is their fear. It makes me wonder what they want from me, what their vision of love is, whether they, too, can see into the abyss, the icy abyss of all the things there are to be afraid of.”
― Constance Debré, Love Me Tender

“The funny thing is that I feel like there’s this other life, this shadow life I’ve been offered, where that demon can run free and I can let that ring, that layer, consume me. But the price is the rest of me.”
― Sierra Simone, Priest
