  1. ❛ Survival is a talent. ❜

  14. ❛ You are amazing. Amazing and agonising and almost lethal. ❜
  15. ❛ In my dreams of this city I am always lost. ❜
  16. ❛ I don’t know where these feelings have come from, I don’t know what I’ve done. ❜
  17. ❛ I am not the centre of your story, you are.  ❜
  18. ❛ I’m mad because you’re an asshole. ❜
