eat fair forced forgotten grow ignored left science until
Us. God's forgotten Science Fair project, left to grow mold. God's goldfish, ignored until we're forced to eat our own shit off the bottom.
growing-up live-life kids
Kids grow up connected to nothing these days, plugged in and living lives boosted to them from other people.
girl religious growing-up
The religious school she went to, growing up, Ms. Wright said how all the girls had to wear a scarf tied to cover their ears at all times. Based on the biblical idea that the Virgin Mary became pregnant when the Holy Spirit whispered in her ear. The idea that ears were vaginas. That, hearing just one wrong idea, you lost your innocence. One detail too many and you’d be ruined. Overdosed on information.
growing-up stupid phases
Picture anybody growing up so stupid he didn't know that hope is just another phase you'll grow out of.
growing-up parent proof
You grow up to become living proof of your parents' limitations. Their less-than masterpiece.
growing-up firsts moments
We all have this moment, when your folks first see you as someone not growing up to be them.
growing-up believe matter
More and more we are taught something throughout our growing up, our education, and continuously, no matter how much we believe in this thing, something comes up that forces us to revise our entire belief system. No matter whom you idolize, it turns out that Louis Armstrong collected vast amounts of pornography.
running growing-up fate
I'm not sure what we're running from. Nobody. Or the future. Fate. Growing up. Getting old. Picking up the pieces. As if running we won't have to get on with our lives.
acne burned distant face family famous good growing jack knew led military mutilation prayed scars uncle
Jack Palance was my distant uncle - that's the family gossip. Growing up, my family knew everything about his face getting burned and scarred in the military and how that mutilation led him to become such a famous 'heavy' in films. I prayed for good scars of my own. Not just acne scars.
We're making the same mistakes we made 1,000 years ago. So they must be the right ones. So relax.
frontier left
The only frontier left is the world of intangibles. Everything else is sewn up too tight.
longer time
Most novels, I find, are three times longer than they need to be. Very little happens, and I don't want to waste my time with them.
almost invested looks love loving moment sex somebody using
I thought we were a real love relationship. I did. I was very invested in love, but it was just this long long sex thing that could end at any moment because after all, it's just about getting off. Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love.
mistake stupid
We're landscaping the whole world one stupid mistake at a time.
