“I’m afraid that when we die, we end up wherever we always thought we’d end up. If we want to go to heaven, we go to heaven.

― Gus Moreno, This Thing Between Us

“You were such a lonely little girl, weren't you? Whispering to grass. Befriending sticks. Dreaming yourself into movies and books. Every screen, every page, like a door to another world, remember?”

“There were women on the planet who so easily accepted their paths. They were destined to like what they were given, and were given just enough, so that everything fell into place.”
― Melissa Broder, The Pisces
