• Scenes from the crook of my elbow

  People are unreliable. But TV – that you can count on to let you down.

  The wind rushed across our faces and we started believing in God. But there was no God: just the wind.

  Worrying makes total sense: if you care about something, it should affect you! Not worrying would be a lie!

  But worrying also makes no sense: if there is something outside of your control, then oh well! Nothing you can do about it!

  Your most summery memories may one day become your darkest.

  I would be very unhappy with someone who tried to make me happy. Love is deeper than happiness.

  Sometimes life throws lessons at me that are very challenging and complicated and I go ‘Wait – is this the advanced class? I think there’s been a mistake.’

  At the end of life we’re all going to be looking at a huge digital screen that is going to tell us the answer of how we were supposed to live. If ‘Don’t Do Anything’ flashes as the answer, I am going to do a huge fist pump.

  She said ‘One day, when I’m a completely different person,’ and I don’t even know how she ended the sentence, because I grew so sad.

  My niece is watching Diego the Explorer over in the corner. They sing the same songs over and over again.

  I guess I can’t blame them. I do the same thing.
