There’s a certain romance to defining ourselves. A woman. A father. A whore. A lawyer. A tyrant. A saint. All these labels come into place and tell the story of Us. We move in haste and give them meaning. I’m an only child, I don’t know how to share. He’s…

Children are amazing like that, you see. Fantastic how raw their feelings are. How they’re not afraid to look someone in the eye and say, “you’re mean.” How quickly they forgive. Adults? No, baby, we are not that free. Adults need to be in nondescript cubicles, and they must buy…

the nights are wild and long and the sunsets are deep coloured and mesmerising I know of passion and of carpe diem, I know of living in the now and living free, no guilt, no pain, no face, no number. I know of regret and I know of bad decisions…

This is Real, the madman says, with a grin between his teeth — Such was a beautiful thought. Such a peaceful feeling. A very, very cool consolation prize. …only that it’s fake, isn’t it? Nothing was real. None of it will be. Never could it be. Not one piece, not…

The clock goes tick, the clock goes tock, and the day went by. Just like yesterday, the day before yesterday and the last hundred of yesterdays. It’s again one of those days in which everything feels a little off, for now he remembers everything. Again. What have I done? It’s…
