The clock in the kitchen says 2:55
And the clock in the kitchen is slow

Burn all of your bridges
just so that you can build them again
with thicker ropes.Hurt all the people you love
and then commit every felony to win them back.Drown yourself in bleach until not even Heaven’s light
can compare to how bright you can burn.Turn yourself inside out
and paint your organs the color of what you see
in your dreams.This is the art of
living with a ticking heart — a grenade you
throw through windows to make a
point that language
has no room for.This is how I destroyed you. And this, is how
I kept you alive.Dig yourself a ditch, six
feet deep, and bury everything that you’ve ever
said, everything that you’ve never
meant, and everything that has
burned you and left you with nothing
but ash.

DiCaprio and Mulligan, meanwhile, don’t seem like star-crossed lovers so much as a delusional man in love with a bauble of a woman. Maybe that’s intentional?

I will forever be grateful for the opportunities that have been provided to me at my university. Not only am I afforded a fantastic education and a myriad of job opportunities in my own field, but I have also been given the privilege to meet some of the most passionate, motivated, and all-around best people that I know. My friends, be they fellow students, faculty members, or staff members, never cease to inspire me in the way that they interact with those around them. Compassion, humor, insight, or a good conversation over a drink will never be lacking from my life so long as these people remain with me.
I am blessed beyond knowing.
After all, the name Anastasia means “she will rise again”…

I. Those of us born by water are never afraid enough of drowning. Bruises used to trophy my knees from my death-defying tree climb jumps. Growing up, my backyard was a forest of blackberry bushes. I learned early nothing sweet will come to you unthorned.
II. At twelve your body becomes a currency. So Jenny and I sat down and cut up all our clothes into nothing. That year I failed math class but knew the exact number of calories in a carrot stick. I learned early being desired goes hand in hand with hunger.
III. The last time I tried to scream I felt my father climbing up through my throat and into my mouth.
IV. There is a certain kind of girl who reads Lolita at fourteen and finds religion. I painted my eyes black and sucked barroom cherries to red my tongue. There was a boy who promised Judas really did love Jesus. I learned early every kiss and betrayal are up for interpretation.
V. I think he must have conferenced with my nightmares on exactly how to hurt me.
VI. He never broke my heart. He only turned it into a compass that always points me back to him.
