“But Joan knew she felt less buzz because she also felt no fear. There could be no danger between them when they made each other this safe. This wasn’t romance—Joan was sure of it. It was something much deeper. Something that”

“But remember that anyone who tells you you’re “too” anything is using the word because they are threatened by your capacity to grow, evolve, and express your emotions. They want you to stay down there, with them—emotionally and morally stunted. You are a mirror reflecting back to them the parts of themselves that they know they’re lacking.”

“often think about what would happen if, for just one day, women everywhere refused to overextend themselves. I truly believe the world as we know it would crumble. Remembering people’s birthdays, cleaning clothes, cooking, tidying up after others, anticipating others’ needs, being polite to men who make us uncomfortable, doing our makeup in the mornings and skincare routine before bed, offering our help without any real acknowledgment for it. Women are often in positions where they have to constantly remind others to take care of themselves, neglecting themselves in the process. This is why self-care is uniquely important for women and marginalized genders.”
