There is emotion in the hug, and there is respect and a form of love.

Our minds touched. Our hearts touched. Our souls touched. We separate.

James Frey
He pulled out turned west and started driving towards the glow it was thousands of miles away, he started driving towards the glow.
James Frey
I say to myself if you believe deeply in your heart you must defy, and if you are willing to pay for your defiance, you must always do it, even though the pain may be much. Too many times in our lives we do not do it, and we pay even more.
James Frey
Love is love. It doesn't matter how or who you love. I don't believe the messiah would condemn gay men and women.
James Frey
I often think of death. True. Suicide is a reasonable option. True. My sins are unpardonable. I stare at the question. My sins are unpardonable. I stare at the question. My sins are unpardonable. I leave it blank.
James Frey
But we are what we are, and humans will always hate.
James Frey
And as ridiculous as it may sound, sometimes all any of us needs in life is for someone to hold our hand and walk next to us.
James Frey
All of us started normal. All of us started out as functioning human beings with the potential to do almost anything we wanted, but somewhere along the paths of our lives, we got lost.
James Frey
Sleep is still difficult I sleep for three or four hours a day. Usually sometime in the afternoon. I walk in the cold, keep myself numb. I cry less, and less. (James Frey, pg.88)
