Notes to the Coroner
I honestly don't remember the last time I felt as dead, empty, alone, drained and hopelessly lost as I did today. I'm just incredibly tired... maybe I'll feel differently by the end of the day, but until then:
These are my notes to the coroner,Clues with no compromise...
Notes to the coroner,
Details of my demise.
Palpitations of a broken heart
Triggered my shortness of breath,
I lost too much love and then I fell apart -
Official cause of my death.

What if?
I had a thought the other night.
What if we're not meant to elevate ourselves to some idea of holiness, but instead sink further down into our humanity?
That just seems awfully doable and simple and... just right.

Suicide
When the fear of living is greater than the fear of dying is when I think suicide occurs. At least that can be one possible motivation.
Just a thought.

"Am I gay?"
“Because here’s the thing about realizing you’re into girls.
Hardly anyone I know has ever said, “Am I gay?” in the same way they
say, “Hey, do you know what the weather’s supposed to be like tomorrow?”
Like they just need to figure out how to dress for the occasion. No,
when most people ask, “Am I gay?” they ask it with the kind of urgency
they would usually reserve for things like, “Do I strap this parachute
to my back and jump from this free falling airplane or do I nose dive
into the ocean and hope the sharks don’t eat my remains? SINK OR SWIM?
LIVE OR DIE? QUENCH THE FIRE OR BURN ALIVE?” It feels so urgent, and the
reason it feels so urgent is because you’re probably not just asking,
“Hey, do I want to make out with other girls?”
You’re also probably asking: What the hell are my parents going to say when I tell them I want to kiss other girls? And my friends and my co-workers and my classmates and everyone at my family reunion? And what’s that girl going to say when I tell her I want to kiss her? And how is my life ever going to be OK, and how can I go on being the same, and am I the same, and what else do I not know about what’s alive inside me? And who will still love me and who will start hating me, and is God involved, or the government maybe, and what if it’s only one girl I want to kiss, and how do I label myself and must I label myself, and what if I change my mind and, really, what if I do burn alive?”

Church of Your Heart
I would be more than willing to go to church.
As long as we'd be meeting outside of church.
As long as we'd talk using 'I believe', 'in my opinion', 'I think', 'for me' and 'it's okay if you disagree'.
As long as we'd talk about love.
As long as we'd have no Bibles.
As long as we wouldn't try to guilt each other into subscribing to one particular set of beliefs.
As long as we wouldn't instil the fear of Hell.
As long as we'd answer questions like 'What is one thing you believe in you think most people would disagree with?'.
And we'd react to those answers with an 'Interesting' and a genuine, reassuring smile even when we disagree.
As long as we'd tell each other it doesn't matter what we believe in, how close or far we are from the truth as long as our beliefs enables us to love and care for people.
But I'm pretty sure there is no such church.
P.S. The title is a reference to the Roxette song. Which is awesome.
