“You were holding all my pieces together, and you were trying to balance them all in your righteous hands.”
― Ashley Marie Berry, Separate Things: A Memoir

“The walls I’d built around myself were now paper thin, like butter#y wings. They were iridescent, and shimmery. It was beautiful the way you tore down my old walls and painted this for me.”
― Ashley Marie Berry, Separate Things: A Memoir

“I wasn’t saying it didn’t all happen like that, but all of that was included in the chunks of time that had gone missing from my brain. They dropped out somewhere. And if the chunks were round, they would have rolled away. So I was hoping they were bricks and heavy so they stayed in the same spot. I just needed to retrace my steps, if I only could remember where I’d been.”

“This isn’t a story about survival because a lot of my pieces have already been lost. Some rebirth has occurred, so I cannot say I’ve survived when I’m not the same person who started this journey.”
