when you love someone so much.
after every fight, every argument, every heart break. At the end of the day none of it even matters anymore. Because you’d rather keep the relationship, and let the problem go. not keep the problem and let the relationship go. No matter what happens, No matter how much it hurt. Nothing is more important than that person.

It’s the pool, his blood in the water, thin circle of red against the current; the moment there isn’t any green left, that’s when I...

“I never wanted to be well-rounded. I do not admire well-rounded people nor their work. So far as I can see, nothing good in the world has ever been done by well-rounded people. The good work is done by people with jagged, broken edges, because those edges cut things and leave an imprint, a design.”

His 10-page bill would make any “prenatal murder” a felony punishable by death or life in prison—and that includes miscarriages, in the event the woman cannot prove that there was “no human involvement whatsoever in the...
