James Wright
“Suddenly I realize
That if I stepped out of my body I would break
Into blossom. ”
James Wright, Above the River: The Complete Poems

Roxane Gay
“And it’s a shame that the measure is what is not so bad instead of what is thriving and good. I look at some of my worst relationships and think, “at least he or she didn’t hit me.” I work from a place of gratitude for the bare minimum. I’ve never been in a relationship where I’ve had to hide nonconsensual bruises. I’ve never feared for my life. I’ve never been in a situation where I couldn’t walk away. Does this make me a lucky girl? Given the stories I’ve seen women sharing via the hashtags #whyIstayed and #whyIleft, yes.

This is not how we should measure luck.

I have had good relationships but it’s hard to trust that because what I consider good sometimes doesn’t feel very good at all.

Or I am thinking about testimony and how there has been so much over the past day and some–women sharing their truths, daring to use their voices to say, “This is what happened to me. This is how I have been wronged.” I’ve been thinking about how so much testimony is demanded of women and still, there are those who doubt our stories. There are those who think we are all lucky girls because we are still, they narrowly assume, alive.

I am weary of all our sad stories–not hearing them, but that we have these stories to tell, that there are so many.”
Roxane Gay, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body

“I am determined to be more than my body - what my body has endured, what my body has become.”
Roxane Gay, Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body

Ernest Hemingway
“You know it makes one feel rather good deciding not to be a bitch.”
Ernest Hemingway

“I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?”
