I don't know who you are, but you have good taste
"Lately, I feel like that all over again. Even crowded
around the table at lunch with everyone. Like my friends
are drinking soda while I’m sipping gasoline. My teeth hurt
from remembering. My throat hurts from not telling. "
- 'Quietly' by Eireann Corrigan
"I’m at that age when everyone is talking about the kinds of love
they’ve been using to get by."

I don't trust my new podiatrist because he has a very gentle voice, and then suddenly he is scraping part of my toe off and I am crying because it hurts but it's a weird hurt, I can feel it all the way inside my toe, but it would be impolite to let him see me cry. He is only doing his job.
