Memoir: FUCK OFF NOW! please don’t leave

Statement: FUCK OFF NOW! please don’t leave. For me these six words sum up
how contradictory love and relationships can be.  How in one person can be
someone you never want to see again but also be afraid to live without.
These seemingly opposing thoughts can exist back to back.  I’ve chosen to
create a small palm sized book that contains scenes from daily life, the
little things, the discarded, the overlooked, that create the memories
and reminders of time spent.
