If I could do girlhood again, I'd ask to be scarier. Less whimpering--more pyromaniac urges, more flirting with kerosene.

Every day I try to fight my own brokenness. But once you are forgotten, it’s not so bad; a heart broken joins another chorus. Can you hear the chorus speak? Can you bear it?

Everything beautiful contains in its kernel a suggestion of suffering, of death. Otherwise, it would just be pretty and uncomplicated.
