Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same. It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide where you're allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day. It's like killing yourself, and then you're reborn. I guess I've lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now. ↗

I am always reborn in her eyes. I think that's what love is: tasting your rebirth over and over and over every single day like the sun when it explodes with fire from the sea. ↗
