“When I wake up, I wake to something worse. It’s the astonishment of being myself”

“Some people wake up drowsy. Some people wake up energized. I wake up dead.”

“If I could wake up in a different place, at a different time, could I wake up as a different person?”

“My future starts when I wake up every morning. Every day I find something creative to do with my life.”

“I like to wake up each morning and not know what I think, that I may reinvent myself in some way.”

“Let the peace of this day be here tomorrow when I wake up.”

“But you’re human, aren’t you? (Kat)
I’m human, except when I first wake up in the morning. Even I don’t want to be around myself then. (Kish)”

“Part of me felt like something momentous was about to happen. The other part of me expected to wake up at any moment, to come out of this fever dream or stress episode or whatever it was and wake up with my face in a puddle of drool on the Smart Aid break room table and think, Well, that was strange, and then return to the boring old business of being me. But I didn't wake up.”

“When one gets quiet, then something wakes up inside one, something happy and quiet like the stars.”

“As soon as something stops being fun, I think it’s time to move on. Life is too short to be unhappy. Waking up stressed and miserable is not a good way to live.”
