Favorite Quote:
We are all the pieces of what we remember. We hold in ourselves the hopes and fears of those who love us. As long as there is love and memory, there is no true loss. - Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

I turn on my laptop
And the outside world disappears
And I'm immersed in the digital world.

I plug in my headphones
And chatter dies
And music takes over.

I start typing
And my body ceases to exist
And a robot takes its place.
