    I’m the girl who is lost in space, the girl who is disappearing always, forever fading away and receding farther and farther into the background.
  • Táliahas quoted3 years ago
    They have no idea what a bottomless pit of misery I am.
  • Táliahas quoted3 years ago
    The shortness of life, I keep saying, makes everything seem pointless when I think about the longness of death.
  • Táliahas quoted3 years ago
    How could I let anybody see me this way? How could I expose other people to my person, to this bane to the world? I was one big mistake.
  • Táliahas quoted3 years ago
    I felt something very wrong going on. In fact, I felt that I was wrong—my hair was wrong, my face was wrong, my personality was wrong—my God, my choice of flavors at the Haagen-Dazs shop after school was wrong!
  • Táliahas quoted3 years ago
    My friends, and my mother for that matter, would be relieved to find that I was more the me they wanted me to be.
  • Táliahas quoted3 years ago
    I would fantasize about going back to the person I had always been.
  • Táliahas quoted3 years ago
