Quote by Andrew Pacholyk

“In the presence of ego, we forget who we are. We lean into emotions that distract us by far. What do you achieve by outshining another? Dominance? Ignorance? A stance like no other? I’ve tripped over pride and fallen in shame. I’ve towered on top… of those others in pain. The best way to fix this is deflecting such arrogance. Replacing it now, with more kindness and eloquence.”

“I imagine these drops of rain hitting the scales of the sandstone fish I carved for Vick. Every drop helps the poisoned stream, I think, holding my hands out open wide. Not catching the drops or trying to hold them. I'm letting them leave their mark and then letting them go. Let go. Of my parents, and the pain of what happened to them. Of what I failed to do. Of all the people I failed to save or bury. Of my jealously of Xander. Of my guilt over what happened to Vick. Of worrying about what I can never be and who I never was in the first place. Let go of it all.”
