responsibility dust breathing
That air. The air afterwards. I wanted to breathe it in. It felt right to breathe it in. Because we were breathing them in, weren't we? And the building. We were breathing it all in. And I thought, there's a part of this that's actually a part of me now. I now have that responsibility. I am alive, and I am breathing, and I can do the things this dust can't do.
kindness believe caring
I think that if you were somehow able to measure the weight of human kindness, it would have weighed more on 9/11 than it ever had. On 9/11, all the hatred and murder could not compare with the weight of love, of bravery, of caring. I have to believe that.
gratitude thinking people
This, I think, is how people survive: Even when horrible things have been done to us, we can still find gratitude in one another.
giving want planning
I asked you what you wanted and you said you didn't want anything. And I told you I wasn't planning on giving you anything; I was planning on giving you something.
alternatives enough used
I had gotten so used to being alone, but never entirely used to it. Never used to it enough to stop wanting the alternative.
tick clock
The clock always ticks. There are times you don't hear it, and there are times that you do.
lying faces telling-the-truth
It is much harder to lie to someone's face. But. It is also much harder to tell the truth to someone's face.
causes flaws sometimes
I'm not good at relationships I always manage to find the flaws sometimes in others but mostly my own. I foretell the ending then go and create the cause save myself and end up alone
smart giving use
Ted is smart and good-looking, but he doesn't use it to good effect, like a rich person that never gives to charity.
home breathing phones
Eventually she fell asleep, but I kept the phone against my ear, lulled by her breathing, and her breathing again in the background. And yes, it felt like home. Like everything belonged exactly where it was.
memories long want
There's no way to release yourself from a memory. It ends when it wants to end, whether it's in a flash or long after you've begged it to stop.
ocean thinking world
tiny: but there is the word, this word phil wrayson taught me once: weltschmerz. it's the depression you feel when the world as it is does not line up with the world as you think it should be. i live in a big goddamned weltzschermz ocean, you know? and so do you.
thinking silence peaceful
you’d think that silence would be peaceful. but really, it’s painful.
sadness joy dilemma
only adj. thats the dilemma isn't it? when you're single, there's the sadness and joy of only me. And when you're paired, there's the sadness and joy of only you.
