Look, being committed doesn't make you dead, but all those months alone can make you feel that way sometimes. You never signed on for that. Embrace the moments that let you know you're alive.

oh, how I wish that I could give him what Daddy takes so easily from me. But it would be a tainted gift. Sadness now, and I wonder how it feels to live without a constant fog of sorrow, a breeze of loneliness.

Is this overwhelming attraction really mutual, or is my believing that just a sign of impending insanity? Is my lunacy on the horizon, or is already here?

...Things happened
when you were little. Things you
don't remember now, and don't want
to. But they need to escape,

need to worm their way out
of that dark place in your brain
where you keep them stashed.

Words have power. The power to soothe. The power to skewer someone through the heart. The power to render someone speechless.

...I think the more
she has failed at things like relationships
and parenting, the more she has cut

herself off from feeling bad about those
things. And if you don't let yourself feel
bad, sooner or later you stop feeling

good, too. You insulate yourself. Build
up layers, like stacking paper, everything
growing heavier. And when the weight

becomes too much, those layers compress.
Become hard. Sad, really, to think that
Kristina has turned herself into cardboard.
