moments. we just remember in moments and then link them together to make up our version of a life.

freedom isnt a one night stand with a sad stranger in a cheap hotel, drowning out memories with wine and the feel of another's misery. freedom is being all alone and coming face to face with yourself and not turning away; freedom is swimming naked and exulting in a cold river at dawn; and its just you, just you and no one left to help you and hold you and ward off harm. and you know that this dark clarity isnt happiness or unhappiness, its something different from anything you've ever felt before.

-Solace, Nicci Gerrard
