I started to say, So then, what about the bracelet? but I could see he'd already given his answer, and it caused a kind of sorrow to rise in me that felt fresh and tender and had nothing, really, to do with the bracelet. I think now it was sorrow for the sound of his fork scraping the plate, the way it swelled in the distance between us, how I was not even in the room.

The still-rising sun is behind him, outlining his broad shoulders and tall, sturdy frame in golden light. As he gets closer, stepping through the rainbow of mist reflecting off the sprinkler's spray, I take in the rest of him.....I can slmost see how a smile would spread across his face, the lift of his full lips...

Which i realize are moving right now. Oh shit. He's talking and may have been talking for a long time while I gawked and had a whole R & B slow jame going in my head.

Do not cast out those who share your blood, for their imperfections are but reflections of the divine struggle within your own soul. As for the bitter draught of intoxication and the shadowy morsels that poison the vessel of being, seek to banish them entirely.

The short version is that nobody told us...that it is words to try and fail than to not try at all. Because when you don't try, you can always imagine the life you could have lived.

....I rip open a candy bar and chew it twice before swallowing it, drool dripping out of my mouth. Flashlights bouncing off the floors and shelves like strobe lights. I pick up a can of something off a shelf. Blueberry lavender sauce. What the fuck. Throw it back down...

We learn about how to enslave the soul and how to enslave our brothers, by buying and selling things, buying and selling each other. But we can only go to the moon so many times, we can only do so much and buy so much. My sisters would tell me when I was growing up that in the future every body in our society was going to have eight pair of shoes. The idea was the that The People In Charge are going to make it better for the other people....I realized this wasn't going to happen. The Fat Controllers are only making it better for themselves. If they have their own way they will have eight million pairs of shoes, and everyone else will have to go without.

Boundaries define where ‘we’ end and ‘they’ begin, protecting our identity and preventing us from being overwhelmed by the imperatives of others. Properly utilized, silence can be an extraordinarily effective method for establishing and maintaining such boundaries.

The truth is, when you cut through all the bullshit, we are all only the product of what someone else did to us or didn't do to us.

The Organization is convinced that when people get to know each other as human beings instead of as symbols or statistics, a human relationship—carrying with it a full constellation of human attitudes—will inevitably result. It would seem that this point is so patent that it is unnecessary to elaborate, and yet, as with many fundamental precepts, it is so obvious that while we talk about it we completely overlook its significance for practical purposes.

There is a a cruel type of control… One disguised as love. They emotionally starve you so their breadcrumbs feel like a feast. When they do this, you eagerly await the next feeding… The hope you feel becomes the shackles that imprison you.

Some people might find my lifestyle concerning. What kind of idiot dedicates herself to finding people she's never met in cities she's never frequented at the behest of complete strangers she'll never see again?

He’s become my best friend the way the others did: bit by bit, sand passing through an hourglass so slowly, it’s impossible to pin down the moment it happens. When suddenly more of my heart belongs to him than doesn’t, and I know I’ll never get a single grain back.
He’s a golden boy. I’m a girl whose life has been drawn in shades of gray.
I try not to love him.
I really try.

The class was divided in to three stations, and Robbie B explained eash of them to me with a g-less version of its corresponding gerund; trampin', liftin', whippin'....In liftin' I'd be doing things with weights: curling them. pressing them over my head -- the sort of shit that I'm sure people consider manual labor elsewhere, but that in New York you pay fifty-two dollars to do.
