I've missed you, Ella May

So she searches for light, only to realize it's in her, like an ember equipped to ignite.

When it all comes down to it, it’s just me and her against the world. Always has been.

It's amazing how the things you remember forever are the things you'd rather forget and the things you desperately want to grasp onto seem to slip away like sand in the wind.

The cemetery is my sense of comfort, my sanctuary in a world of darkness, the one piece of light that i have in my life.

I'm just here,existing at the surface of the water,not quite drowning but not quite able to breathe.

In the existence of our lives, there is a single coincidence that brings us together and for a moment, our hearts beat as one.

Once a blooming red rose, full of streaming life in its veins. Now a wilting black petal rupturing with death and pain.

That’s you. Callie, you’re the only person that’s ever made me feel happy about anything. That night you saved me, you changed something in me—you made me want to live.

I've never bowed to anyone, but will gladly live the rest of my life on my knees before you, if you'll be mine.

One way to feel good about yourself is to love yourself... to take care of yourself.

I've always been able to decide what was more important at different points in my life, but I never gave up personal things to work, never.

America is rising with a giant's strength. Its bones are yet but cartilages.

Say oh wise man how you have come to such knowledge? Because I was never ashamed to confess my ignorance and ask others.

It's hard to get movie studios to pay a lot of money for movies that don't have robots or explosions.

It might drive some people crazy, living like this, but the quiet keeps me company.
