“Who am I? I'm just a writer. I write things down. I walk through your dreams and invent the future. Sure, I sink the boat of love, but that comes later. And yes, I swallow glass, but that comes later.”

About this quote
Richard Siken’s evocative words remind us that we are all the authors of our own complex destinies. Life often asks us to play many roles—the dreamer, the wanderer, and sometimes, the survivor who must endure painful, jagged truths, symbolized by swallowing glass. Yet, even in our moments of heartache or self-sabotage, there is profound beauty in the narrative we continue to weave. We walk through the landscapes of our deepest subconscious, creating tomorrow out of the fragments of today. As you navigate the unpredictable journey of life, let this quote be a gentle embrace for your resilient soul. It teaches us that embracing our vulnerability and acknowledging the inevitable hardships ('that comes later') does not diminish our power; rather, it deepens our human experience. Every trial we face is merely a plot twist in a much larger, magnificent story of personal growth, healing, and unstoppable transformation.
