“Why does the world not rebel against a capitalistic society that places the right to pursue greed ahead of the collective good of a community? Why do so many people who live next door or across a hallway from one another never speak to their neighbors?

She’d worked hard to get to the contented, confident version of herself she now presented to the public. Yet sometimes, the neurotypical world would hit her with strange moments of déjà vu.

Déjà vu that reminded her that although she could put on a good show and play pretend, she would never be one of them. Not only because of unspoken, unconscious prejudice, but because she always sensed, on nights like this, that a part of her was missing.”
― Elle McNicoll, Unapologetic Love Story

“You waiting for a ride home or something?" Lola asked.

"Home?"

"Yeah, home," she said with a laugh. "Like where you live, where you sleep. Did you walk here?" Lola looked around as if searching for something.

Home. For some reason, her question struck with meteoric impact. I knew I was lost; I was very aware that my home planet was millions and millions of light years away. But home? Back on Xaerea I had a place where I lived, where I slept, where I spent my free time. It was...fine. Comfortable.

But I wasn't sure I had ever truly had a place that felt like home. A stark reminder that I was as alone and out of place on Earth as I was on my planet. My hands grew clammy inside my suit, tears prickling at the corners of my eyes. I was alone here too.”
