Carly’s Notes & Highlights

Evil Eye by Etaf Rum

2 highlights

“I feel unsafe in my own body, like it’s trapped me somehow,”

“The US TV network Fox News recently reported on a German couple who attended a fertility clinic because they had failed to have children, only to be told that in order to have a baby, they had to actually have sex first. They thought the stork was enough.”
― Lucy Cooke, The Truth About Animals: Stoned Sloths, Lovelorn Hippos, and Other Tales from the Wild Side of Wildlife

“He was a man without a country living in a world of ghosts, for having no country meant no involvement and not caring for a thing beyond your own heart and head, and ghosts and spirits were the only thing certain in a world where your existence was invisible.”
― James McBride, The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store

“Our emotions are energy,” Yara continued. “Energy in motion. The point is to move the emotions through and out of your body. When you don’t express your emotions, when you keep your feelings inside, the energy gets trapped.”
― Etaf Rum, Evil Eye

“In dependent enmeshment, the child is maladjusted and the parent plays the role of either rescuer or victim.”
― Lindsay C. Gibson, Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents
