I desire to cloud the world in darkness, while you to illuminate the world in light.
But they are one in the same. When All is said and done, the power to grant the wishes of everyone is nothing more than "the flow of life"
Just as all things are in constant flux.
It is only providence that to wish for happiness in the world, one must first bring sorrow

— "Did I have a spot?" he asked with a half grin.
— You’ll always have a spot.

I wanted to tell him that the pool, the garden, the house, the tennis court, the orle of paradise, the whole place, would always be his ghost spot. Instead, I pointed upstairs to the French windows of his room. Your eyes are forever there, I wanted to say, trapped in the sheer curtains, staring out from my bedroom upstairs where no one sleeps these days. When there’s a breeze and they swell and I look up from down here or stand outside on the balcony, I’ll catch myself thinking that you’re in there, staring out from your world to my world, saying, as you did on that one night when I found you on the rock, I’ve been happy here. You’re thousands of miles away but no sooner do I look at this window than I’ll think of a bathing suit, a shirt thrown on on the fly, arms resting on the banister, and you’re suddenly there, lighting up your first cigarette of the day—twenty years ago today. For as long as the house stands, this will be your ghost spot—and mine too, I wanted to say.

When you're struggling with your mental health, it's important to know what to do and acknowledge it. That's something I'm not ashamed of. I had to re-study things that completely flew out of my head. It was something like, "Hey, you're not a bad person. You're not a rude person. You're not crazy. You're none of these things, but you're going to have to deal with it. I know it's hard, but that's the reality." And I realized that the relationship with bipolar disorder and with myself... It's not going anywhere. I'm just trying to make friends with it now. I think I had to go through this to be who I am. And I'm going to keep going through it, but I'm really happy. I'm at peace. I'm angry. I'm sad. I'm confident. I am full of doubts. I'm working on myself. I am enough. I'm Selena.
