No, we're not soulmates. This is not divine intervention. And this is most certainly not chance. I willed this. I knit the threads of fate myself until they spelled your name. I love you intentionally. I love you with every bit of conscience I was born with.

I wanted to be born as a star but someone had a different idea. That's how I ended up as a street lamp. I die too soon and flicker too much. But yesterday I saw a moth trying to kiss me. It almost burned her. I have heard stars do not get this luxury.
Oscar Wilde
If a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit. But if a friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to share it, I should feel it most bitterly. If he shut the doors of the house of mourning against me, I would move back again and again and beg to be admitted so that I might share in what I was entitled to share. If he thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him, I should feel it as the most poignant humiliation.

I still look at you with eyes that want you, when you move you make my oceans move too, if I hear my name I will run your way... It's my desire that you feed... you know just what I need; you got power, power, you got power over me.

- Live for You; Die for You
I don't wanna be reduced to just one good memory, I want to be remembered in all ways. In bad or good. In all selfless and selfish ways. You can't make me into a saint, okay? I'm a demon-child. I'm the bane of your existence. And I'm everything else you want me to be. Just... don't cheapen the way I lived. Not with how short it was. Is that okay? Remember me. Please.
Macklemore ft. Kesha
- Good Old Days
I wish somebody would have told me that, some day, these will be the good old days. All the love you won't forget, and all these reckless nights you won't regret. Someday soon your whole life's gonna change; you'll miss the magic of these good old days.

- Live for You Die for You
You are everything I hate. You are every little reminder that I never wanted to see again, my pain, my anger, my ghosts. You are Satoru's hurt and ache and every godforsaken weakness he's ever had in a single body. You are his tears. You are my downfall. You are his beginning, his middle, his second chance, just as much as you are his end. But you are every inch of my love. And you will be the final thing I will ever live for.
Rudimental ft. Jess Glenn, Macklemore, Dan Caplen
- These Days
I hope someday we'll sit down together and laugh with each other 'bout these days, these days... All our troubles, we'll lay to rest and we'll wish we could come back to these days, these days...

I didn't want to have kids. Not with the way I grew up. I only had so much examples of how not to bring up kids. But soon enough I was picking up books. Soon enough I had a kid that I loved so much it hurt. A child is a responsibility. And a loved child will bring love to the world. I'm glad I decided to break the cycle of hurt and nurtured a child to love themselves and the world.

"If you're a martyr, then we all are. Peanut. The Prof. Mouse. Piano. Heck, I expect some of them Huns too. The word don't mean much. You can't make light of death. Not when so many good men we knew didn't come back to live the lives we lived." "But it hurts. It hurts so bad to keep going." Church cupped my cheek and lifted my face. "That's what real sacrifice is. To keep going no matter how deep the fear gets into your heart."

Love matters, I added to myself, just so that I did not forget, and no longer would I traipse the planet impeding the person-to-person transmission of this most beautiful of diseases. I had caught it myself, a couple of times, and still felt the gorgeous wounds, still longed to shed tears at the exquisite scars.

We talked about David. The Hebrew Bible's greatest king, greatest lover, greatest warrior-poet. And yet he's shown coveting and adultering and murdering. The best of people, Frank, can do the worst of things. The line between good and evil, I don't think it's drawn in the sand where we can see it. I think it's drawn inside the heart. Only you know when you cross it. Only you know when you've decided which side you're going to end up on.

Go out; break things. Go further; repair them. Break hundreds of hearts. Have thousands of children. Discover awe in a tangle of weeds; find delight in the pattern of a role of mass-produced paper towels; live, Reader, live as hard as I died, and only then I will be happy.

The past is perpetually in play, always malleable, ever salvageable. Did any of this story happen as I said it did? The telling of a tale puts a prism to it from which incalculable new angles rainbow forth. You made this as real as I; remember it however you'd like. What you do with your time alive defines you, Reader, but hear me, I beg you, when I say that you are not done being defined.

Go ahead now, set down this page. Do not worry. It is not abandonment. Another reader will pick it up before long, and somehow, through the shared enchantment of the human heart, it will be still be You, Dearest Reader, and it will still be Me. It's funny, isn't it? While we were distracted by the silly scraps that make up human history, you and I became eternal, impervious to rot, infinity itself.
