“Break his heart? I try to imagine myself having that power, holding his heart, mine to abuse, but even when I picture it pulsing and pumping in my hands, it´s still the boss of me, leading me around, jerking me this way and that with me clinging and unable to let go.”
― Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa

“No, not crazy,” Ruby says. “Traumatized.”

“My worst habit, according to my mother, is how I deflect compliments with self-deprecation. I need to learn how to accept praise. It boils down to confidence, she says, or lack thereof.”
― Kate Elizabeth Russell, My Dark Vanessa

“I'm not afraid
Even if it's true
That there is no place for me.

My home is in my heart
And in the hands of all my friends.

No one can take it away from me.

I am who I am.”
― Yao Xiao, Everything Is Beautiful, and I'm Not Afraid: A Baopu Collection
