Just in case you ever foolishly forget; I'm never not thinking of you.
― Virginia Woolf, Selected Diaries
Trains are arguably the centre of everything. The sinew of civilisation for muggles and wizards alike. They are where all walks of life converge. Congregate. In synchronised traversal. Shared agony inflicted by the piercing screech of metal on metal, bonding all patrons aboard a carriage. And outside. A passing glimpse of someone you thought you’d never see again. Trains. They change everything.
“You’re still with Timothy McKinnon?”
“Yeah.”
He nodded and took a swig of beer.
“Actually we’re engaged.”
He put down the glass a little too roughly. “Oh.”
Oh.
Lust is so inadequate. And loving exhausts me.
— Anne Sexton, A Self-Portrait In Letters
― Margaret Atwood, You are Happy
Lily was breath and bucking hips and grappling fingers. She was a plant in darkness and he was the sun. Light streaming through a window. Hot breath on her neck. He was temptation, salvation. And Lily was nothing if not indulgent.
— Billy-Ray Belcourt, A History of My Brief Body
“What’s got her wand in a knot?” Peter asked as Dorcas returned to the other end of the Gryffindor table.
Dorcas shrugged. “She wouldn’t say.” She snatched up a muffin just as James, whose face had maintained a glum quality since the previous evening, pushed hastily from the table and stormed out of the Great Hall.
— Carrie Underwood, Look at Me

“I want to be a bad girl
I want to be a bad girl so there’s a musicality to my rebellion
To be a bad girl is to be one of the most furious things in the modern world
To be a bad girl is to be one of the most admonished things in the modern world
A bad girl is she who has rid herself of the brutalities of socialization
The antithesis of the bad girl is the man who self destructs”

"Don’t we all tell ourselves that what’s inside us, our wanting, is annihilative to this degree? Don’t we all suspect our most volatile yearnings, when freed from the pits of our stomachs, could upend a world? What if desire is one of the few forces that troubles the idea of continuums, meaning we are either entirely absorbed or wrecked by it? Don’t we all have it in us to destroy ourselves?"
Billy-Ray Belcourt, "Outside, People Were Crying, or They Weren't"

the first time he told me i was beautiful, i thought he was lying. i thought beauty was a plot in a story i had been written out of a long time ago.

do we have a word to make sense of this kind of loss: a body feeling like it doesn’t belong to you anymore? sometimes the act of enduring itself becomes too much to bear and you forget how to go on in a world that didn’t want you in the first place. how do you mourn something you can still see in the mirror?
Billy-Ray Belcourt, from This Wound Is a World; “An elegy for flesh”
