“I get it now, I do. I don't know how to turn it off, but what I do know is this: I'm addicted to the worries, I'm addicted to self torture and self hate and any other version of the self that reaffirms the belief that there is a deep, disgusting darkness within me.”

“Happiness to me isn't a presence, it's an absence. The absence of worry, of fear of sadness, the thoughts and compulsions that led my life for so long. I'd worked hard to get myself to where I was right now. I'd pulled myself out of the chaos of my own mind - and routine is what got me there.”

“I thought Cradle Island would fix us. I did. That the waters would heal us, just the way Mom said they could. But here we are, and everywhere I turn, I see grief. I see it in the strange actions of my siblings and the dead silence at the dinner table and the hushed voices of my parents in the hallway outside my bedroom door. Grief didnt't leave; if anything, it burrowed even deeper in. Took the place of the one who left. Grief sits in Henry's chair at dinner, sleeps in his bed at night. The island, which once seemed ready to burst from all the life packed onto its shores, has become a colorless place.”
