Only I know how broke I got
buying into the theory that my
life was something
that happened to me
and that's not to say I gave
every hurt a permission slip.
I didn't. But I did cast myself in
a lot of crappy roles. I've been
told almost every argument is a
race for the victim position. I'm
tired of winning the gold.

Additional quotes by 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'.
