hurt loneliness it-hurts
What you notice is the loneliness. Daniel started to isolate himself, because it hurt less than being pushed away.
baseball stars kids
Kid says to me, "You play baseball? What position? Left out?" and gets a big laugh from the rest of the class. Kid is only one person out of 6.792 billion humans on this planet. This planet is only one-eighth of the solar system, whose sun is one of two billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Put it that way, the comment loses it's importance.
cutting blood ears
Do you know how, when you are on the verge of a breakdown, the world pounds in your ears; a rush of blood, of consequence? Do you now how it feels when the truth cuts your tongue to ribbons, and still you have to speak it?
mother distance fall
Where did you go?" "To the end of the driveway," my mother says. "I was nine months pregnant; that was the maximum distance I could waddle without feeling as if my uterus was falling out." I wince. "Do you have to be quite so graphic?" "What would you like me to call it, Zoe? A fetal living room?
lying would-be imagine
I imagine how cool it would be if all small talk wasn't lies.
my-sister ends
In the end, though, I did not kill my sister. She did it all on her own. Or at least this is what I tell myself.
eye forever
How could I not have seen this coming, when I looked into your eyes and vowed to be with you forever?

You know, the mind is a remarkable thing. Just because you can't see the wound doesn't mean it isn't hurting. It scars all the time, but it heals.
baby falling-in-love eye
There's got to be a moment when that baby [flying] squirrel looks from the end of one branch to the tree six feet away and thinks twice about making a leap. Falling in love is no different; it's the moment that we close our eyes and throw away everything that seems reasonable and hope to God there's someone or something waiting to catch us on the other side.
heart function torn
As it turns out, you can function while your heart is being torn to shreds.
cutting people needs
the relationship between people knot so easily, there needs to be a person skilled at working free the threads. Sometimes, though, the only way to extricate a tangle is to cut it out and start fresh.
baseball eye skulls
Those eyes, they've got a history with mine. They were the first things I saw when I came to, after being hit in the skull with a baseball thrown by Patrick at Little League. They were the fortification I needed at sixteen to ride the chairlift at Sugarloaf, although I am terrified of heights. For almost my whole life, they've told me I'm doing all right, during moments when it was not in my own power to answer.
persons stills
How far can a person go... and still live with himself.
thinking half ive-learned
but if I've learned anything, it's that we don't know half of what we think we do. And we know ourselves least of all.
