“I want the kind of love
that loves me when I'm too much.
the kind of love that lets me be,
and knows I am enough.
the kind of love that accepts me,
even as I change.
the kind of love that I can ride,
despite all the waves.
the kind of love that can see me smile
and know I'm not okay.
the kind of love that holds me down
but always lets me grow.
the kind of love that sees my rage
and loves me even more.”
― Rose Brik, My Father's Eyes, My Mother's Rage

“Well, I’m too intimidated to try something new and too scared of failure to commit to anything more than a string of short-term relationships and the same job I’ve had since I turned eighteen. Everyone keeps telling me I can be anything I want to be and do anything I want to do. And I’m just . . . paralyzed by it all.”
― Elsie Silver, Heartless
