cutting doctors feelings
I grew up in a household where we didn't really talk about our feelings, and where the only reason you went to a doctor was because you'd accidentally cut off a limb with a chain saw.
wine water lord
The Lord turned water into wine. All I'm suggesting is a trip to the grocery store.
letting-go pain rip
Into the silence rips a sound that makes me let go of Max's hand and cover my ears. It is like the strafe of a bullet, nails on a chalkboard, promises being broken. It's a note I have never heard - this chord of pure pain - and it takes a moment to realize it is coming from me.
people enemy grudge
People don’t just disappear. There’s always a reason, or an enemy with a grudge. There’s always a loose thread that starts to unravel.
truth lying dishonesty
And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but the truth in masquerade.
happens picks
Why are you doing this to yourself? When something bad happens, why do you have to pick at it until it bleeds all over again?
strong lying sucker
Lies were only as strong as the suckers that believed them.
remember forget i-can
For someone who can’t remember very much, there seems to be a lot I can’t forget.
memories doors behinds
Why do some memories bleed out of nowhere and others stay locked behind doors?

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.
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.
feet world firm
Once the world was pulled out from beneath your feet, did you ever get to stand on firm ground again?
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.
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.
