We are where we are, however we got here. What matters is where we go next.
moon islands space
And yet ... But what if ... I want to do something impossible. Something astounding and unheard of. I want to scrub the moss off the Space Shuttle and fly Julie to the moon and colonise it, or float a capsized cruise ship to some distant island where no one will protest us, or just harness the magic that brings me into the brains of the Living and use it to bring Julie into mine, because it's warm in here, it's quiet and lovely, and in here we aren't an absurd juxtaposition, we are perfect.

My friend "M" says the irony of being a zombie is that everything is funny, but you can't smile, because your lips have rotted off.
book writing giving
I used to split my time between writing, music and painting. I would work on a book and then abandon it, start a band, do an album, quit music, then do a gallery show. Eventually I decided to give writing a serious shot.
becoming-one body written
Warm Bodies' ended up becoming one of the most personal relatable things I've written.
real symptoms handicaps
Is this muteness a real physical handicap? One of the many symptoms of being Dead?Or do we just have nothing left to say?
dream sleep night
I wonder how well she sleeps at night, and what kind of dreams she has. I wish I could step into them like she steps into mine.

There is no ideal world for you to wait around for. The world is always just what it is now, and it's up to you how you respond to it.
