“Girls love each other like animals. There is something ferocious and unself-conscious about it. We don't guard ourselves like we do with boys. No one trains us to shield our hearts from each other.

And it's relentless.”
― Leah Raeder, Black Iris

“It's a miracle to realize that somebody loves you.”
― James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk

“oh god it’s wonderful
to get out of bed
and drink too much coffee
and smoke too many cigarettes
and love you so much”
