I find it difficult not arguing with writers I admire, I argue most with those I’ve personally canonized, often throwing them out and canonizing them again and throwing them out and so on.

Is it odd that the books I feel like re-reading the most are the 700-pagers?

Legs runny. Nose packed. Eyes lifting. Chest caving. Teeth teething. Fingers ghee-y, head deadly, body medley.

Successfully dodging relapses is a good lifetime's work. Tactical, unrelenting, and an unforgiving job. More than one's household depends on it. Not all humans are monsters, especially those that were born to slay them.

With great power comes great responsibility is more than a trope whenever it counts. Which is pretty much all of the time.

Dear poet,

When you write, you free a little part of yourself with every word.

When you read, you unlock a new truth.

When you craft, you free others too.

Find connection and community in your pursuit. Open the doors for others.

Let the love in.

Making a religion out of re-reading a book immediately after I finished reading it. The current one is The Dalai Lama's Book of Wisdom. Good soup.

It's oftener tougher convincing myself of the illness than it is dealing with the unrealness of its symptoms. Never mind regardless.
