"In Which We've Been TRYING to Live Without You...
“There’s the awkward nature of an amicable break-up, one where both parties decided together (or peacefully, meaning that no dishes were hurled and no insults were shouted) that things had to come to an end. One comes out of such a situation defeated, sometimes for the sake of feeling defeated. There’s no torch to carry on, no immediate need for rebound sex. There’s the...

Clients to See
Reclaim yourself. Pieces have fluttered away.
Everything you do is a masochistic act. Why?
Don’t you like yourself? Don’t you deserve better than all of this?
Need: something to lift you from your boots into the sky, something to make you like little things again, to whirl around the curves of your ears and muss up your hair and call you every single day.
