The trick is not how much pain you feel--but how much joy you feel. any idiot can feel pain. life is full of excuses to feel pain, excuses not to live, excuses, excuses, excuses.
Inspirational Hurt Pain
I don't know if anyone has noticed but i only ever write about one thing: being alone. the fear of being alone, the desire to not be alone, the attempts we make to find our person, to keep our person, to convince our person to not leave us alone, the joy of being with our person and thus no longer alone, the devastation of being left alone. the need to hear the words: you are not alone.

Would a minute have mattered? no, probably not, although his young son appeared to have a very accurate internal clock. possibly even 2 minutes would be okay. three minutes, even. you could go to five minutes, perhaps. but that was just it. if you could go for five minutes, then you'd go to ten, then half an hour, a couple of hours...and not see your son all evening. so that was that. six o'clock, prompt. every day. read to young sam. no excuses. he'd promised himself that. no excuses. no excuses at all. once you had a good excuse, you opened the door to bad excuses.

Everything you've heard about canadians apologizing profusely for things they shouldn't be sorry about is absolutely true. it is both sweet, endearing and worrisome at the same time. having someone apologize for no reason actually makes me feel as though i should apologize for their need to apologize.

She was a sweet girl but not really pretty, a rough sketch of a woman with a little of everything in her, one of those silhouettes which artists draw in three strokes on the tablecloth in a café after dinner, between a glass of brandy and a cigarette. nature sometimes turns out creatures like that.
Girl Sweet Artist
We are the mirror as well as the face in it. we are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. we are pain and what cures pain both. we are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.
