Paper Girl and the Knives that Made Her Quotes

“i think about ending my life-

and then i think about how
you would still love me even if i weren't here tomorrow.

and i think of endless tomorrows
of being loved by you

and with you,
i'm closer to infinity that i'd ever be
in the ground

so i'll stay
and i'll wait-

for tomorrow.”
― Ari B. Cofer, Paper Girl and the Knives that Made Her

“her name is depression

and she treated me better than any lover.
she ran her fingers through my hair
and took the air out of my lungs,

slowly,

until she left me breathless.

i loved her
even when she pushed me to the edge.

such a sweet talker.
such a nice dancer.
such a good kisser.

depression never wanted to lose me.
she only wanted me to lose myself.”
― Ari B. Cofer, Paper Girl and the Knives that Made Her

“Sit in the darkness and dance in the light. Understand you are both lost and found, and it's okay if you don't know where to return to; you are here, and I know it's hard, but you are. Keep choosing to be. I promise one day it will be enough.”
― Ari B. Cofer, Paper Girl and the Knives that Made Her
