“But, if ADHD has made me an expert in anything, it’s avoidance, and I am pretending not to see my problems like a champ. Sure, the problems nag and gnaw at the back of my mind, slowly devouring me until I’m nothing but a flesh bag of subconscious anxiety, but it’s better than actively sending myself into a meltdown by imagining literally every single rancid potential outcome.”
― Mazey Eddings, Tilly in Technicolor

“When someone's been gone a long time, at first you save up all the things you want to tell them. You try to keep track of everything in your head. But it's like trying to hold on to a fistful of sand: all the little bits slip out of your hands, and then you're just clutching air and grit.”
― Jenny Han, To All the Boys I've Loved Before

“Writing for children is an art in itself, and a most interesting one.”
― Enid Blyton

“Let me tell you about spirit.” The teacher comes alive, making eye contact with each of us as he speaks. “No one can command you to have spirit—not principals, governors, presidents, or even kings. There’s no spirit switch in your brain that can be flipped on or off. Spirit isn’t a week you can put on your calendar. It doesn’t come from posters, or streamers, or rallies, or funny hat days. And it definitely doesn’t come from making an ungodly racket with a cheap plastic instrument of torture that was invented purely for disturbing the peace!”
― Gordon Korman, The Unteachables
