Kema Reads (a lot)

“If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I’m neurotic as hell.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“Do not measure her on a scale of what a girl should be. Measure her on a scale of being the best version of herself.”
― Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions

“She had an interesting, slightly sweaty smell”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“and the struggles that nearly broke me connect me with so many others. I want to tell my story not because it’s unique but because it is not. We may each be fighting our own fights, but we keep going: that is what ties us together. Everyone who is left here has lived to fight another day.”
― Michael K. Williams, Scenes from My Life: A Memoir
