I need to stop fantasizing about running away to some other life and start figuring out the one I have.

You can run away from yourself so often, and so much, just because the broken pieces of you cut your feet too deeply if you stay around for too long.

If someone sees you as something worth staying with— maybe you'll stay with yourself, too.

You said you knew the perfect place to run to. A place that was empty of people, and buildings, and far, far away. A place covered in blood-red earth and sleeping life. A place longing to come alive again. It's a place for disappearing, you'd said, a place for getting lost... and for getting found. I'll take you there, you'd said. And I could say that I agreed.

If ever I was running, it was towards you.

My dear sister, you can’t escape God, and you can’t escape your skeletons in the closet. They will always be there until you take them out from behind those dusty old moth-eaten coats.

A good snapshot stops a moment from running away.
