Quote by Karl Kristian Flores

“So read in the dark. Live in the space between the wine and the cork. Live without rhyme, like a vortex, free of them, go wild for any sort. Live like a secret, dance despised, share your mad, let the water soak you, But most: live your true wish and don't let man's template choke you.”

I've got a good life.”

“Do you have any idea how many elders find themselves in her position? They suddenly lose their spouses, their faculties, or both. They're then often living with their grown children, even as they crave an autonomy that has slipped away. Praise God I still have my independence and my mind, but I do know how it feels to grow vulnerable. No matter the measure of fortitude you carry, a certain anxiety arises. You know you cannot control all you once could, so you hold fast to the little you can still govern.”
