The purpose of water is to drink it but we swim in it for the fun of it.

It wasn't a glorious or grand act of misadventure but it was a start. It wasn't what I should have done but it was what I truly wanted to do.

I'll tell you what you want to hear. I mean, what I need to hear. I'll tell the truth.

Honestly, if I stay on this gruelling path, I'm going to end up as another suicide statistic.

As long as you don't kill someone or seriously maim them, sure, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as you have a good time.

I didn't let what I wanted to do become a made up memory that I looked back on years down the road and wished it was real.

You need a break every once in a while to enjoy the everyday and you need the everyday to enjoy the break you take every once in a while.

You know what's the worst? Having realistic, ordinary expectations taken out of your reach by seemingly unrealistic, extraordinary circumstances.

The false hope I filled myself with is fleeing and I'm beginning to feel scared again.
