    Andrea Gibson
    “So at 12:31pm, when he decided not to-
    when he came down, when the road opened-
    I did, too, my whole world, my whole mind
    went home with living proof
    of what I'd only before known in theory:

    that we are truly not alone in this,
    that our veins are absolutely strings
    tied to other people's kites,
    that our lives are connected.
    That my butterflies are never gone,

    they're just flying around
    in someone else's belly sometimes'.”
    ― Andrea Gibson, Lord of the Butterflies

    “What was wrong with me? I had a decent life. I was healthy. I wasn't starving or maimed by a land mine or orphaned. Yet somehow, it wasn't enough. I had a hole in me, and everything I took for granted slipped through it like sand.
