safe arms would-be
I'd been convinced I was on the outside, but really, I'd always been within arm's reach. All I had to do was ask, and I, too, would be easily brought back, surrounded and immersed, finding myself safe, somewhere in between.
moving-on break-up stay-strong
All I'd ever wanted was to forget. but even when I thought I had, pieces had kept emerging, like bits of wood floating up to the surface that only hint at the shipwreck below.
thinking wanted loses
Right now, though, I wanted not to think forward or backward, but only to lose myself in the words.
forever want ifs
If this was my forever, I wouldn't want to spend it here.
pieces like-you seeing
So while it seemed like you were seeing everything, you really weren't. Just bits and pieces that looked like a whole.
crazy love-you sister-love
And always remember how much your crazy sister loves you.
memories together pieces
So many versions of just one memory, and yet none of them were right or wrong. Instead, they were all pieces. Only when fitted together, edge to edge, could they even begin to tell the whole story.
passing-by glances passings
I thought again how you could never really know what you were seeing with just a glance, in motion, passing by. Good or bad, right or wrong. There was always so much more.
past way ends
The past did affect the present and the future, in ways you could see and a million ones you couldn't. Time wasn't a thing you could divide easily; there was no defined middle or beginning or end. I could pretend to leave the past behind, but it would not leave me.
girl men training
All the bitchy girls in the world are just a training ground for what men can do to you.
stupid
It's so, so stupid what we do to ourselves because we're afraid. It's so stupid.
self over-you world
Self respect, Colie. If you don't have it, the world will walk all over you.
hippie scolded
Nothing like being scolded by a hippie.
disappointment mean people
I mean, at first, it was kind of disappointing. But people recover from disappointment. Otherwise we'd all be hanging from nooses. Right?
