Find a beautiful piece of art. If you fall in love with Van Gogh or Matisse or John Oliver Killens, or if you fall love with the music of Coltrane, the music of Aretha Franklin, or the music of Chopin – find some beautiful art and admire it, and realize that that was created by human beings just like you, no more human, no less.

my dear,” she told me,
“you are far too celestial for heaven;
your soul is one for the stars.
When is a monster not a monster?
Oh, when you love it.
I have a habit of
Self destruction.
Somedays, I won’t eat,
I won’t sleep,
I’ll drink myself into darkness.
But by far,
Without a doubt,
The thing that destroyed me the most,
Was always
You.
That’s the beauty of books. In so many ways, they never really end.

but darling, i am
destined to destroy everything i touch,
and if i were a stronger soul,
i would tell you to get back,
to not run into the burning house,
to swim away from the riptide.
but, beloved, i cannot.
for i am a creature of abandonment,
and with your outstretched hand
and smile to blind stars,
you are offering me
a life for more than just leaving.
and when you ask me
if your bleeding would make me stay,
home has never hurt so much.
I saw my demons, but oh darling
they all looked like you
Lust is so inadequate.
And loving exhausts me.
