❝ Frieda knew life after marriage meant purging herself of all the things that weighed her down with unhappiness and resentment.

she didn't know some of those things were worms.

but now she stood there, cleansed of her past and undeterred; wrapped in a creamsicle colored towel gazing into my camera.

“am ready for my closeup, Ms. Gillis”

and so she was. ❞

He was maybe a little self conscious about it but sometimes you have to push that all down, dress up nice, make a splash in the club, and just power through it. Squish down that it had been over two years. Gotta just stop waiting and make that energy happen.

❝ “WHAT DO YOU MEAN AM WAITING FOR CRUMBS?”, huffed Jack as he checked out the chicks queueing for some gingerbread.

“I CAN GET ALL THE GINGER AND BLONDE AND BRUNETTE I WANT”, he said in mock outrage. “don't need no crumbs. i can get the whole loaf and cake, if i want it. i honestly like watching the world do its thing while i stand still. and i get to check out all the shiny shit. like that buckle of yours. that's shiny as hell. now i want some buckle.”

❝ the last time i saw Wilma was at my sewing therapy class. she had finished pillows for her new place & was hand sewing that sequin blouse.

“a little present from me to me”, she said.

she had escaped from a bad situation & sewing gave her hope. miraculously, we got her stable housing right before the orange fuck happened and we lost our funding.

gotta call her. gotta let her know the red on her cheeks and the shine of her blouse have made my day.

❝ “DO I LOOK LIKE A WRECK?”, he asked as i offered a towel.

Carlos had never seen the sea. he had lived his life in a landlocked cage.

until now.

after the judge dropped her hammer, he got on a bus and cried all the way to the beach.

when he got off, his heart didn't know how to take in the expanse of blue; so he ran and jumped into the uproarious waves.

“AM A BIG BLUE WRECK!” he said, “AM GONNA BE ALRIGHT”, as he readied to jump in again.

❝ look… i just… i had to make a quick decision: get out as fast as i could or stay and lose my health, my sanity and my dignity with a long, dragged out fight.

so i left.

yes, it doesn’t look like much, but it’s a place i can make my real home. my real first home, my first real place to nest and feel safe and happy.

it’s my little piece of shabby, and it’s mine.❞
