I really appreciate Willi having a song that essentially says, “I’m bisexual and depressed but at least my beautiful fat wife exists”

Father forgive me for what I have done Drove 200 miles for six inches of love And he shined like the neon in the town’s only bar Slick as the needle and slim as the scar
I lost friends to heroin, plenty more to lovin’ them Strung out on the highway like we couldn’t read the signs Now that I am older and burn a little colder I know how to read between the lines But the only time I get these guilty thoughts Is when the pills wear off And what I called a love affair They say was a death of despair They say I’ll get over him I just need time I think Jesus sent an angel, stuck needles in his thigh And the old freight trains, they whistle and whine They shake the whole damn house, like we did when he was alive I lost friends to heroin, plenty more to lovin’ them Strung out on the highway like we couldn’t read the signs Now that I am older and burn a little colder I know how to read between the lines But the only time I get these guilty thoughts Is when the pills wear off Mother don’t ask me the things I have done It’s selfish to fall for yourself in someone I know that I want him and always will I don’t think he could have known that it was fentanyl But the only time I get these guilty thoughts Is when the pills wear off And what I called a love affair They say was a death of despair The only time I get these guilty thoughts Is when the pills wear off

my favorite quotes
lines I think are carved into my heart and if you cut me open and unwrapped the scar tissue covering l it like how they scanned those ancient charcoal scrolls you’d see these words
“Kindred spirits are not so scarce as I used to think. It's splendid to find” -Lucy maud Montgomery
“Why must people kneel down to pray? If I really wanted to pray I’ll tell you what I'd do. I'd go out into a great big field all alone or in the deep, deep woods and I'd look up into the sky—up—up—up—into that lovely blue sky that looks as if there was no end to its blueness. And then I'd just feel a prayer” - Lucy maud Montgomery
“the heart's a big tent Gotta let everybody in Doesn't matter who they are If they do right or where they've been Everybody gets in” -willi Carlisle
“If the Great Depression made us, there is no need to despair I won't waste a single moment of the work that brought me here” - Willi Carlisle
“In my mind I connected my joy in my flowers and my joy in God as belonging together.” - my namesake
“I'd like to die in Arkansas if I should die at all” -Willi Carlisle
“… you can’t help liking God. He is Love itself, you know. You mustn’t mix him up with Ellen Greene’s God, of course.” - Lucy maud Montgomery
“some moments last forever but some flare out with love, love, love” -John darnielle
“She is not fashioned for a life among strangers“ -Johanna Spyri
“Well, maybe reckless hearts come in pairs/Maybe that's the only shake we'll ever get to call fair” - John Fulbright
“I have always been too sensitive, a weeper from a long line of weepers. I am the hurting kind. I keep searching for proof.” - Ada limon
