21 " It’s so hard not to be fascinated by the broken, to remember that a boy with a sad smile and a pretty face is not the boy that you should fall in love with. "
― Kris Kidd , Down for Whatever
22 " Then I drop to my knees because I can't find a decent enough reason not to, because reluctance rarely stands a chance against repeated behavior. "
― Kris Kidd
23 " Two sad eyes and one skanky smile, I practically pulse with the promise of promiscuity. I'm easy to catch, but too slippery to hold onto. Men love a challenge if the prize is guaranteed. I know how to start a fight while deepthroating a white flag. "
24 " Sometimes, when I'm chain-smoking and feeling like shit (which happens more often than I'd like to admit), I let go of a lit cigarette just to see if the ember will outlast the fall.It rarely does. "
25 " Another piano falls, but this time it's me— or my lascivious loneliness, or my grab bag of mental instabilities and emotional shortcomings, or whatever. "
26 " There's a weight in the room now, a remembrance of childhood. It sinks like a stone, or a heart, or my weight on a good day. "
27 " My desperation is deliberate. Despondency's a pheromone. "
28 " And then he's somewhere inside of me, each thrust rattling my ribcage like a bottle of pills. I'm somewhere outside of myself, thinking about lust— about my slutty white sheets and all the men who like to hide in them. "
29 " You burn bright and you burn hard, like a fire in a dumpster,and nobody is so worriedabout you burning as they are worried about the fire spreading. "
30 " You are only as deepas the ashtrays you use. You only stick around because you like the abuse. "
31 " I’m a lot like you,and you’re a lot like me.It’s sad to say,and it’s sad to see. "
32 " It isn’t easy,” is easy to say and sometimes I think that the only thing we can dois say really easy things to each other. "
33 " I want to remember what we were like before we became ourselves. "
34 " The piece of you that loves a part of me tries its best to hold onto the rest,but my heart is a thousand-piece puzzle of a faraway galaxy, deep purple,colors blending together and impossible to place. "
35 " You ask yourself when you’ll learn, and the answer is always,“Tomorrow. "
36 " Sunrise is starting to feel like a guilt trip. "
37 " I dye my jeans jet black once a week, but they never seem dark enough. I bleach my hair bright white twice a month but it never seems light enough. I drink two and a half bottles of champagne every night but I never seem drunk enough. And I know I’m not high enough until someone grabs my face to check my vision to see if I’m still responsive— And even then, I’m thinking to myself that I should probably do one more line, you know, just to be safe. "

38 " In the mirror I stand, an injured deer in headlights, or maybe high beams, judging by the way my eyes water. I measure my wrists with my fingers, and I clutch at my rib cage, fingering it languidly, tracing the rise and fall of sharp bones until my heartbeat slows, and I dream of a faraway ocean. "
39 " I’ve memorized the best angles in the bathroom mirror from which to see how badly I’ve disintegrated. I truly do go from sixty to zero. "
40 " I think it’s imperative that we continue confusing light with meaning. That’s how the human race evolves. Someone sees a light, names it God, goes toward it, goes up in flames. Same goes for moths. We’re all animals. There’s nothing revolutionary about evolution. The process itself relies solely on stupidity. We fuck up in the hopes that future fuckups will learn from us. "
