Painting me a dream...

He suddenly realised that we were on borrowed time, that time is always lent, and that the lending agency exacts its premium precisely when we are least prepared to pay and need to borrow more. So if there is pain, nurse it, and if there is a flame, don't snuff it out, don't be brutal with it. Withdrawal can be a terrible thing when it keeps us awake at night, and watching others forget us sooner than we'd want to be forgotten is no better. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything - what a waste!
