feet wind compass
You can widen the feet of a compass, but they are still attached at the top; you can spin them away from each other, but you always wind up where you started.
nice littles protected
It was nice not having to be the one in control, for a little while. It was nice to be the one who was protected, instead of the one who'd been protecting eveyone else.
too-late alex care
Like Connor, Alex protected me -and he was the only person I let close enough to do it. Like Connor, Alex could finish my sentences before I did. But unlike Connor, for whom I had ultimately come too late, I was just in time to take care of Alex.
dream block night
when you want something so desperately, you shake with the need for it. you tell yourself that you don't need more than one sip, because it's just the taste you crave, and once it's on your tongue you will be able to make it last alifetime. you dream of it at night. you see a thousand mile-high obstacles between where you stand and what you want, and you convince yourself you have the power to hurdle them. you tell yourself this even when, leaping the first block, you wind up bruised and bloodied and flattened.
grief two
Not everyone understands how you can spin two lassos at the same time, one of hope and one of grief.
loss rivers glasses
Sometimes it made her want to put her fist through glass; other times, it made her cry a river.
stupid buying belief
It's like the psychiatrists themselves are buying into that stupid belief that therapy is something to hide.
disappointment thinking hands
Logical thinking keeps you from wasting time worrying, or hoping. It prevents disappointment. Imagination, on the other hand, only gets you hyped up over things that will never realistically happen.
life challenges now-and-then
We make messes of our lives, but every now and then, we manage to do something that's exactly right. The challenge is figuring out which is which.
feet world firm
Once the world was pulled out from beneath your feet, did you ever get to stand on firm ground again?
cutting thinking dvds
I think a persons life is supposed to be like a DVD. You can see the version everyone else sees, or you can choose the directors cut-the way he wanted you to see it, before everything else got in the way. There are menus, probably, so that you can start at the good spots and not have to relive the bad ones. You can measure your life by the number of scenes you’ve survived, or the minutes you’ve been stuck there. Probably, though, life is more like one of those dumb video surveillance tapes. Grainy, no matter how hard you stare at it. And looped: the same thing, over and over.
differences people like-you
There was a difference between people looking at you because they wanted to be like you, and people looking at you because your misfortune brought them one rung higher.
memories doors behinds
Why do some memories bleed out of nowhere and others stay locked behind doors?
remember forget i-can
For someone who can’t remember very much, there seems to be a lot I can’t forget.
