fresh paint, old bloodit was one of those nights where you wake up, see the sun coming in grey through the window, and forget whether or not you slept. / her advice to me was: "when you want to feel unique, say a sentence that you think no one has ever said before." but it was different than that. I felt alone. I didn't want to say something that would put me further on the island I felt I was becoming. I yearned to be a part of something bigger than myself. so I carefully formulated in my mind the words that many many people have wrapped their teeth around, letting it hiss through the gaps: / "I've never felt so happy in my entire life."
