I was raised feral, and I mostly stayed that way.
My dad had limitations. That's what my good-hearted mom always told us. He had limitations, but he meant no harm. It was kind of her to say, but he did do harm.
To pretend to be calm is to be calm, in a way.
Most beautiful, good things were done by women people scorn.
Everytime people said I was pretty, I thought of everything ugly swarming beneath my clothes.
I would have done anything to feel real again.
Ironic people always dissolve when confronted with earnestness, it's their kryptonite
They always call depression the blues, but I would have been happy to waken to a periwinkle outlook. Depression to me is urine yellow, washed out, exhausted miles of weak piss.
I've always been partial to the image of liquor as lubrication, a layer of protection from all the sharp thoughts in your head.
