I hate hypocrites. If you’re going to be a waste of space in this world, own it.
“Grief is like a deep, dark hole. It calls like a siren: Come to me, lose yourself here. And you fight it and you fight it and you fight it, but when you finally do succumb and jump down into it, you can’t quite believe how deep it is. It feels as if this is how you will live for the rest of your life, falling. Terrified and devastated, until you yourself die.
But that is the mirage.
That is grief’s dizzying spell.
The fall isn’t never-ending. It does have a ground floor.
Today, I cry for so long that I finally feel the floor under my feet. I find the bottom. And while I know the hole will be there forever, at least for now, I feel as if I can live inside it. I have learned its boundaries and its edges.”
― Carrie Soto Is Back

“We can do and be so much for each other—but only when we see one another in our full humanity, not as statistics or problems, but as people who deserve to be alive in the world.”

“I was crying for all the things I'd thought I'd understood but didn't. Crying for all I'd hoped for that wouldn't be.”

“I must have you. Kate knows better than anyone how dangerous men can be. The thought sparks fury in her. She's not sure if it's a new feeling, or if it was always there, smothered by fear. But now it burns bright in her blood. Fury. For herself. And all the women that came before. Things will be different for her daughter. She'll make sure of it. And that means she has to be brave.”
