~Most days I find I can't breathe.~

~The ocean has always terrified me. It isn't meant for the living.~

~If I'd been told as a child that I deserve to own all I see, maybe I would believe it, too. But it's because I haven't been told this, and they have, that I'll succeed over them; this I know, because while they sit and wait to be handed this world, I'll work and I'll fight for my position. I'll succeed, while they wait for me to fail.~

~It's easy, I think, for anyone to say what they would've done if put in a situation other than their own, easy to look away from the suffering of other and avoid the truth, to pretend that they're not the villain of their own story.~

~The fairy tale told the story of a girl who had grown up alone in a tower, with no one to love but her own reflection in a mirror. She couldn't stand the sight of her reflection for some time, and she waited for a knight to save her, to rescue her from this tower and take her away into a foreign land. But a knight never came, and so she slowly learned to love the reflection. Loved it enough to pick up the mirror up and hold it close to her chest. She died in her sleep this way, with no one to love her but herself.~
