Something that needs nothing

“My mind ballooned with nervous fear. I looked at Pip and for a split second I felt as though she was nobody special in the larger scheme of my life. She was just some girl who had tied me to her leg to help her sink when she jumped off the bridge. Then I blinked and I was in love with her again”.


No One Belongs Here More Than You, by Miranda July

"for the first time in my life i understand the value of good manners: i understand that you must be polite to all people at all times because you never know what difficulties they may be struggling with at that precise moment, you never know how the slightest wrong thing that you say could be the last little iota it takes to send a person who is just barely holding it together into a complete breakdown. the one little mistake you make, bumping into someone as you walk busily across a crowded sidewalk, shoving a woman aside as you push your way into a crowded subway car, spilling red wine on someone else's white shirt because you weren't paying attention as you made your rounds through a cocktail party- you never know if that misguided gesture might not be the reason some poor lost soul ends up in the loony bin. anyone can be that delicate"

I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't take notice.

her words

"i've stopped writing for the last few minutes. he was trying not to cry. william told him it was okay. he can talk only about what he wants. the man apologizes. can you imagine? someone apologizing because they can't tell you how their family was killed."
