"Sleep (qoutes) p.107 - There's a part of me that understands this kind of sleep. Not because I'm always sad or lonely, but there sometimes, being awake means having to think about everything: the things I need to do, the things I haven't figured out and the life I'm still trying to make sense of. There are days when I don't necessarily escape anything: I just don't feel like participating in the world for a while." — Oct 21, 2026 06:56PM

“What they fail to understand is that there's something very liberating about it; once you realize that you don't need anyone, you can take care of yourself. That's the thing: it's best just to take care of yourself. You can't protect other people, however hard you try. You try, and you fail, and your world collapses atound you, burns down to ashes.”
― Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
