  23. He sat before her, on the chair, as the rain pounded out from behind them. Music, in the background, gently danced and moved around them.

  27. “Let’s make it easier and take the whole conscious bit out, ya know? Just make it how it used to be, where we lived, but didn’t, I dunno, know we were living. ‘Cause I mean, all I’ve ever done in my life is sit on the back of a rusty truck and forget about what I did yesterday.”

    She thought about it, but the next day, instead of killing herself, she went and kissed him again.

  37. When I was talking to Jones he told me to just get over it. As if depression is something you can just get over. You don’t get over it. You get in it.

I try to surgically remove the sadness in my heart, but after I stitch myself up I am still left with a scar. You can’t simplify depression.

    to put me back together again.

  39. This is the title of a song by Marina & the Diamonds, from her younger days when I liked her better. I used to be obsessed with her (oh boy, and Obsessions is the name of another of her songs), but with her more ‘mainstream’ new album, I’m honestly disappointed, just because the weirdness, the quirkiness, has been tamed.
