…I know you know.

 

…I guess, I don’t know.

 

…Deep is relative.

 

…The only way out is to write.

 

--You must really like that song

--Yeah, I really do.

 

…Thank you for closing that door. Perfect timing.

 

--“Isn’t love a form of hope?

--“No. Love is crushing. Love is something you let yourself feel at your own peril.”

            --Lily King, Heart the Lover

 

…Constantly lying to yourself requires a special kind of stamina.

 

…Most people are a contradiction of themselves.

 

…Hope can be just as devastating as despair.

 

…Wishing you could change the script of your life when the scene is over is pointless.

 

…At some point, you have to learn to protect yourself.

 

…I’m the first to admit that men can be very stupid.

 

…Was today really so bad?

 

…I know what it’s like to keep all your hurt bottled up inside.

 

…There comes a point with everything in life where there is no turning back.

 

…It’s been a good run, and I’m grateful. Truly.

 

…I was mostly a joke then, still wandering.

 

…Puff up those cheeks while you sit there and watch her die. Good, Boy.

 

…I must confess, I have regrets.

 

…Might be time to shape up.

 

…I’m not sure anymore.

 

…How many times can you say, “There’s nothing worse,” and really mean it.

 

…I hate being a cynic, but just take a peek, Patterson,

 

…It’s amazing how much I can still be a dick.

 

…As of today, I can still smell a little bit of eucalyptus. What a gift, what a wonder.

 

…I’m usually good at knowing when it’s me.

 

--What’re you doing?

--I’m drowning.

--Need a towel?

--No, a snorkel would be better.

 

…Well, there we go.

 

…Ahhh, let’s play that one.

  

…I put my faith in some wrong people, though they seemed right at the time.

 

…“Being a good, or best friend, requires about 200 meaningful hours over six weeks.” Ezekiel Emanuel, MD

 

…Stop fucking Afibbing. Just go ahead and kill me if you’re going to. I don’t need all this foreplay.

 

…“So I do what I always do when I don’t know what to do. I pour a drink.”

 

…You can’t walk around like that forever, can you?

 

…When those lights go on, the show’s over.

 

…Wake up. It’s been dawn for hours.

 

…You lose the “h” and we have a whole other story. 

 

…No, that’s the important part.

 

…That’s the problem with texting when you shouldn’t, even if you’re well-intentioned.

 

…So, there you go again.

 

…How many times can you kill yourself in a day?

 

..."What if I can never meet someone who makes me feel that happy?"

 

….“You aren’t seriously considering this, are you?”

 

…It’s a beautiful sensation, to hear the rain but not see it fall because it’s still too early and dark out.

 

…Who would ever have thought?

 

…To be honest, I’m not sure what that is.

 

…It’s a very fine line.

 

…The Grim Reaper is always one step behind us. Fuck him.

 

…If you want, I’ll take the fall for that and you can pay me back a nickel the next day.

 

…I’m not sure why anyone reads this.

 

…I think a sunrise means there’s hope, even if you don’t feel it at the time.

 

…Yeah, yeah, yeah again.

 

…I’m really scared right now.

 

…Can I have a few of those leftover covers?

 

…You start noticing things better right before something momentous is about to happen.

 

…“Start by accepting that willpower deteriorates over time.” Ezekeil Emanuel, MD

 

…If it was a good morning, I’d still be in bed.

 

…“Would you like to be alone some more?”

 

…Changes need to be simple, or they just don’t work.

 

…I know what I’m doing most of the time.

 

…It doesn’t mean anything to me if doesn’t mean anything to you.

 

…I suppose I’m supposed to be a grownup, whatever that means or entails, but it feels futile.

 

…Who cries in their cuffs? Like no one, right?

 

…Who can I tell that to other than you?

 

…“Seasonal Depression” is really a thing?

 

…“If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. Is there any other way?” Emily Dickinson

 

…There should be a way to block yourself.

 

…I’m not a mind reader, but I know what happens next.

 

…Wait, remind me; What day is it today?

 

…I just want to sway a bit, if that’s okay.

 

…Apparently, the time is right now.

 

…It must be what you mean it.

 

…And who’s to say where we’ll be tomorrow?

 

…Who puts up with this shit, and why would they?
