“Love at first anxiety attack”
― Mason Deaver, I Wish You All the Best

“It’s hard to throw away history. It was like you were throwing away a part of yourself.”
― Jenny Han, The Summer I Turned Pretty

“I have emerged

from this shrinking heaven half-drowned & with a heart molding

at the edges & speaking of the heart, I love most what it is until it decides

it isn’t. first a weapon & then not. first a mirror, wherein you see yourself briefly

whole & next to someone else who is briefly whole & then not. I am talking about the end

of love—how the door closes one night & never re-opens.

I Tend to Think Forgiveness Looks the Way It Does in the Movies ”
― Hanif Abdurraqib

“Cutting is a fence you build upon your own body to keep people out but then you cry to be touched. But the fence is barbed. What then?”
― Kathleen Glasgow, Girl in Pieces
