LITTLE STORIES WITH BIG HEARTS
ZIPPO Hello there. It 's been a while. Months, in fact. But lately I've been feeling the pull to "blog" again. Do people still blog? I know I still read them. Sure, I like YouTube and Spotify for podcasts, but there's something wonderfully "un-noisy" about a favourite blog. I can settle in and enjoy it. There wont' be any ads. There is no infinite scroll. I read the entry. Enjoy it. And then go do

“I tapped a few keys, wrote, 'Today is the first day of the rest of your life,' and stared at the sentence. Who had initially said that? Honestly, it wasn’t all that inspirational. If you were in a really dark place facing an even darker future—for example, held hostage in a mountain cabin by a serial killer—wouldn't a message like that make you want to slit your wrists? (Natalie - Secondary Feathers)”

“The first time I thought I was in love with Mitchell, it was raining. Not in a romantic, Jane Austen kind of way—just a steady, inconvenient drizzle that made my feet wet and my hair frizz. We were standing outside a coffee shop after a long, overly intellectual conversation about some book he had bought about Japanese culture, and I remember laughing too loudly at something he said that wasn’t really funny. In hindsight, I realize I wasn’t in love—I was just relieved. Relieved that Mitchell Simon seemed to want me. Relieved that someone like him, with his carefully pressed shirts, strict routines and iron-clad opinions, had chosen me. I mistook that relief for love. I knew better now.”

“I wish when I ran away to start over, I'd actually started, instead of stalling, and I'd never had a reason to look back.”

“I stare at the chipped, black polish on her chewed fingernails and try so hard not to cry. I was going to be there for all of it. I wanted to be.
When I look up, her eyes are teary, too. She was like that when she was little; we’re both like that. If we’re not actively trying to block out the feelings of the people around us, they seep in and hurt like our own. Or, maybe she’s having her own feelings now—maybe I’m feeling some of hers.”
