“maybe i was never trying to kill myself.  maybe i was trying to kill the pieces of you, the pieces that rot and decay and demolish.  the memories of your words, your actions, inactions.”
― Winnie Kendrick, there has always been magic within me

“I’ve always loved this time of year: it’s a time of hope, a time of joy, a time of promise. For me, the beginning of December marks the start of a new chapter and is a far more exciting month for fresh starts than dull and dreary January.”
― Mikayla Davids, The Christmas Party

“This is what most girls are taught—that we should be slender and small. We should not take up space. We should be seen and not heard, and if we are seen, we should be pleasing to men, acceptable to society. And most women know this, that we are supposed to disappear, but it’s something that needs to be said, loudly, over and over again, so that we can resist surrendering to what is expected of us.”
― Roxane Gay, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body

“when my daughter was born,  i always thought she would be better off without me.  because i came from you, and you poisoned me, so surely, i would poison her.  but, slowly, i realized that we are not the same.  i realized that i would rather die than make my daughter feel anything close to what you made me feel.”
