Then the flip switches.We’re finally turned on.The electricity is running, and the bill is high. Imagine sticking your finger into a socket and your whole body absorbs the current. Suddenly you feel alive. Sparks run through every vein, lighting you up from the inside. It’s addicting. You chase it until you can’t run anymore—arms out,…

My feelings are like quicksand. Once I feel, I start to sink fast — pulled under to the point of suffocation. The part I hate most about being a girl is emotions. Talking about them. Feeling them.
