“Some Relationships Just End. Like A Star, They Burn Bright And Brilliant, And Then Nothing In Particular

Ottessa Moshfegh, from My Year of Rest and Relaxation

“When I’m depressed, I feel like I’m a T-Rex who wants to clap her hands but can’t. Then you said you’d be a T-Rex too and clapped my hand. We’d sing, “If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands.” I said thank you and hugged you Then you said that we need longer hands to hug We need to evolve to have longer hands And we’ll figure it out together.”
