“If I hadn’t read these books, or studied what I did, I’d be a different person. It’s hard to question things, or expand the way you think, without being exposed to new information or different perspectives.”

“Your dad’s from a generation of men who were taught that speaking about their feelings was a weakness. Which means they didn’t really learn the skill. And it is a skill, you know. Figuring out how you feel and then articulating it. It’s not easy. But I think it’s important to try or you just…there’s too much to carry on your own, you know?”
― Charlotte McConaghy, Wild Dark Shore

tags: communication, emotional-expression, empathy, generational-differences, masculinity, mental-health, personal-growth, relationships, self-awareness, vulnerability

“What a strange thing that grief can become need in moments, in breaths, in the strength of his hands. Maybe it’s shelter. Maybe distraction. Or something else entirely. But there is old pain in me and we kiss as though we have kissed a thousand times before, as though in other lives we kissed every day, we kiss as though we have been waiting years to do so.”
― Charlotte McConaghy, Wild Dark Shore
