“I was afraid of the unknown. I was afraid of the sham and the gift I thought I lacked. I was afraid of all the lost choices I would never be able to make, and that for the rest of my life someone would always be telling me what to do or say or think, even when I had better ideas of my own. I was afraid of never being anything but what suited others and being pushed and prodded until I fit the mold they shoved me into and I forgot who I was and what I wanted. And maybe most of all, I was afraid I would never be loved beyond what a piece of paper had ordered.”
― Mary E. Pearson, The Beauty of Darkness

― Shaun David Hutchinson, We Are the Ants

“The writhing, bleeding hole inside of me closed up. I let him erase it. I let him make it go away.”
