“It’s getting so I live every moment with terrible intensity.
It all flowed over me with a screaming ache of pain…remember, remember, this is now, and now, and now.
Live it, feel it, cling to it. I want to become acutely aware of all I’ve taken for granted.
When you feel that this may be good-bye, the last time, it hits you harder.”

“Perhaps some day I’ll crawl back home, beaten, defeated.
But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.”
― Sylvia Plath
