She held up her hands, warding us off. “I don’t want your pity,” she said ferociously. Her voice was raw, wild. We stood there helplessly. “You don’t understand.” She covered her face with her hands. “None of you do.”
“Genya—” David tried.
“Don’t you dare,” she said roughly, tears welling up again. “You never looked at me twice before I was like this, before I was broken. Now I’m just something for you to fix.”

But what’s inside you? That’s steel. It’s brave and unbreakable. And it doesn’t need fixing.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

“This land will kill you, if it can. We Icelanders are forged of different metal from the soft foreigners – even the Barbary pirates did not stay long. Have you ever known a Danish trader to winter here from choice?’
I shrugged. How did this concern me, or the people’s morbid curiosity?
‘We seem strong, Jón, all of us, but we are like grass – we bend so the wind will not break us. You are like the sea: you surge forward again and again. See yourself now. Your parents are dead, your croft is falling apart and your boat is riddled with holes, yet you don’t stop.’

“You will be mine,” he hissed, even as my hands closed on either side of his head. In that moment, I saw my life as it could have been, as so many had lived before me.

“kesedihanku terlalu berat untuk dibayar dengan memori dan penyesalan.
rindu menjadi tak bertuan
kehilangan tempat di hati
sedangkan waktu seolah tak memperdulikan teriakanku
manakala aku ingin kembali ke masa lalu untuk sekedar berandai-andai memperbaiki cara kita menjaga kebersamaan

kekosongan ini terlalu luas untuk kuhuni sendirian
menghamburkan keengganan tanpa batas
bahwa kamu adalah kekuatan yang lepas dari rangkaian tulang dan ragaku

langkah panjang ini terasa tak beranjak
terserap magnet bumi
sehingga kamu tetap tak terlihat
tak terdengar
tak tersentuh
bahkan bayanganmu

tejo menata kegelisahannya, ambil nafas dan berdiri tegak...

_wasiman waz”
