ocean want drowning
There is a gulf as wide as an ocean between should and want, and I am drowning in it.
fate play doe
Does fate ever play by the rules?
thinking firsts first-time
And I think, not for the first time, that what is immoral is not always wrong.
stills
You’ll tell yourself anything you have to, to pretend that you’re still the one in control.
enough live-and-let-live
You live and let live, eventually that becomes enough.
doctors judging nurse
It's just like nurses in a hospital tend to know more than the doctors most of the time; if you really want to get the answers to a question about court, you should spend more time buttering up the clerks than the judges.
people together doe
Somewhere along the line, organized religion stopped being about faith, and started being about who had the power to keep the faith. You said that the purpose of religion was to bring people together. But does it, really? Or does it-knowingly, purposefully, and intentionally--break them apart?
grief loss past
I knew what it was like to lose someone you loved. You didn't get past something like that, you got through it.
love hurt crazy
It's crazy, right? To love someone who's hurt you? It's even crazier to think that someone who hurts you loves you.

Add love, and all the lines between right and wrong were bound to disappear.
best-relationship way sides
The best relationships were the ones where both sides went out of their way to make sure the other wasn't disappointed.
missing gourmet alternatives
If you don't know there's an alternative, you can't miss it
hurt pain cutting
[I] don't think I was trying to kill myself. I just wanted to hurt, and understand exactly whay I was hurting. This made sense: you cut, you felt pain, period.
moving heart feet
But mostly I wondered why the head could move so swiftly while the heart dragged its feet. I still loved him. It felt like anything else permanent that has gone missing; a lost tooth, a severed leg. You might know better, but that doesn’t keep your tongue from poling at the hole in your gum, or your phantom limb from aching.
