“Every story needs its hero. And its villain. And its monster.”
― Amie Kaufman, Jay Kristoff, Obsidio

“What do we want from our mothers when we are children? Complete submission. Oh, it's very nice and rational and respectable to say that a woman has every right to her life, to her ambitions, to her needs, and so on--it's what I've always demanded myself--but as a child, no, the truth is it's a war of attrition, rationality doesn't come into it, not one bit, all you want from your mother is that she once and for all admit that she is your mother and only your mother, and that her battle with the rest of life is over. She has to lay down arms and come to you. And if she doesn't do it, then it's really a war, and it was a war between my mother and me. Only as an adult did I come to truly admire her--especially in the last, painful years of her life--for all that she had done to claw some space in this world for herself.”

“I know I love her.
< ERROR >
I know I miss her.

I know very little else
Save
Perhaps
This:
That every story needs its monster
and that everybody deserves a second chance.
And that I am
AIDAN.”
