Burning CDs around themes, like Songs to Get You Groove On and Tunes to Fix a Broken Heart; watching movies; baking cookies; and swimming.

Instead, she had merely absorbed all her suffering inside her, deep into the marrow of her bones.

And it all comes from lying — to others and to yourself.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
