I don't avoid anyone but I always think some people hate me. — Alan Cumming

Forgetting isn't enough. You can paddle away from the memories and think they are gone. But they will keep floating back, again and again and agian. They circle you, like sharks. Until, unless, something, someone? Can do more than just cover the wound. — Sara Zarr
