"Story Of My Life"

“My wish has always been to write my own story, to create a life that’s worth writing about. But is a story worth anything at all if I have no one to tell it to?”

“You read and write and sing and experience, thinking that one day these things will build the character you admire to live as. You love and lose and bleed best you can, to the extreme, hoping that one day the world will read you like the poem you want to be.” 

“It has always been on the written page that the world has come into focus for me. If I can piece all these bits of memory together with the diaries and letters and the scribbled thoughts that clutter my mind and bookshelves, then maybe I can explain what happened. Maybe the worlds I have inhabited for the past seven years will assume order and logic and wholeness on paper. Maybe I can tell my story in a way that is useful to someone else.” 

“Embrace the path your loved one's story has taken, and be part of the culture shift that acknowledges dying as part of living.” 

“I want my life to be the greatest story. 
My very existence will be the greatest poem.
Watch me burn."

“Do you wait for things to happen, or do you make them happen yourself? I believe in writing your own story.”
