Quotes by Lysz Flo (?)

“You act like like adobo and pikliz can't go together,

like griyo and pernil aren’t cousins,

and my parents couldn’t possibly be from two different islands.”

“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

“The first few moments after you meet someone are precious, because the data on them is plentiful and your own subjectivity has yet to interfere.”

“Love isn’t a cage, petit,” she says. “It’s more like a post-balloon—sent off in a specific direction, but allowed to make its own path.”
― Dhonielle Clayton, The Belles
