1 " In the movies, God is an actor just like everyone else. "
― Kris Kidd , Down for Whatever
2 " If I told you that I imagine love to be a two-way mirror, which side of the mirror would you imagine me standing on? "
― Kris Kidd
3 " Beauty is biased, brainless. It says little to nothing about anybody as far as ethics are concerned, so why not monetize it? Give it some value, pin it with a price point. Otherwise, it’s worthless. "
― Kris Kidd , Return to Sender
4 " And confessions of love have always seemed out of place when you’re gasping for air, when you’re begging for pain,when you’re missing something, unable to change the channel. "
5 " I haven’t felt the full weightof the world on my shoulders,and I haven’t experienceda fraction of the painand embarrassment I’ve put out into this great bigwhite world. "
6 " I think of drug dealers like I think of my father— never really there when you want them to be. "
7 " My desire to self-destruct is a one-night standon Groundhog Day.Fucking repetitive. Repetitively fucking. "
8 " I talk too much, but there's a lot unsaid. I've slept in a lot of beds. "
9 " You grow bored of these shrines, and you abandon thembecause you know for a fact that you will worshipanything you kneel before.Like God.Like cock.Like porcelain. "
10 " There's stranger sex than sex with strangers. "
11 " I've come to realize that hunger feels more like home than any tangible structure ever has, or probably ever will. I know now that creating absence is my way of coping with absence. "
12 " There is stability in self-destruction, in prolonging sadness as a means of escaping abstractions like happiness. Rock bottom is a surprisingly comfortable place to lay your head. Looking up from the depths of another low often seems a lot safer than wondering when you'll fall again. Falling feels awful.I'd rather fucking fly. "
13 " Coming down for the thousandth time, I'm perched on the precipice of a billion broken promises. I'm speeding through the intersections of my own broken heartstrings, blowing red lights and ignoring red flags. I'm thinking, 'history repeats itself.' I'm wondering why. The world outside is still happening also. "
14 " Regret, albeit raw and relentless, is almost always unremarkable. "
15 " I’ve always wanted to be the sort of boy who does the right thing without having to think about it first, the kind of boy who makes his bed every morning and wears his mouth like a vase for words of kindness and simplicity. My agents keep telling me I’m too bruised to play the part. They have no idea how hard it is to make my bed when I’m constantly sleeping in yours, how difficult it is to keep my body from bruising when I’m almost always on my knees, making room in my vase for you, and watching while you text all the boys who are up for the role. "
16 " Fucking fixes nothing, but certain feelings are unavoidable. "
17 " I just want to get away from me. "
18 " There are rules you've gotta follow when you fuck to forget. A body's only a temple if and when you treat it like one, but a heart can still break even if you never put it together properly in the first place. "
19 " A drop in the bucket, a tear in the ocean, you’ve been treading cold water, memorizing the motion just to stay afloat. "
20 " And I guess at the end of the day, you’re just amazed that I can still stand, and I’m just amazed that I can stand still. "
