i lived alone in a small apartment.
across the street from the health department.
I left my pills in my glove compartment.
that was the afternoon my heart went...

"my time here is short, getting shorter everyday. Soon, i will be gone, away from all these things. I will notremember, i will not be remembered. Nothingi did, none of who i am will be of memory to anyone."
"i fear not pain. it's essential. its saving grace is that it's ephemeral, fleeting. only when it wears out itswelcome that it does its damage. And my fear is realized now."
"so this is what it is to be alone, to be in pain, to be in tears, to be broken. To hope to be whole againsomeday. Will i fly again, Gabriel?"
"nothing is of a grand master plan. There is no order in life. There are no lessons to learn. When you fall, youstill feel pain. You dont get numb, you dont get used to it. you get up and walk on, but nothing will get youback that fall, and nothing will guarantee you wont fall again. Your cries will be left unheard, and your tearswill have no one to dry."
"death is what everyone thinks about in the back of their minds, denying its inevitability. But face it, and youwill know what life is really all about. You'll find instead the loss of all your fears, the peace that you crave, andbest of all, you will find that which you have been searching for - your self.
So do what you want to doNOW. Otherwise you're just living a very uneventful shadow of what you refer to day-to-day as life."
