I ate too many peanut butter filled pretzels. They looked like little pillows but they were crunchy. I ate all of them. I feel kind of sick now. This feels worse than a broken heart. And I did it to myself. I did it to myself.

- Grief is a man in sad pajamas that you keep locked in a room because he's proof you used to love something. Set him free. Let him leave (or stay) if he has to. You have other proof. Setting him free is not a betrayal of your love. Healing: not a betrayal. Don't romanticize it.
- Thanks to everyone for the head's up about Yellowjackets, Bones and All, and Hannibal, but my screenplay will be different because there won't be any love, desire, or sexuality in it. They are only mildly fond of each other. It's cannibalism as a metaphor for friendship.

- There's a show on Netflix called Heartstoppers. On a recent episode, Issac is reading Crush at a party.
- I wasn't always 56. For a long time I was 26. This guy wrote Crush --
