“Nothing shapes us like our friends. Family, definitely. Families fuck us up by an order of magnitude. But friends, we collect them like bricks and nails and drywall. They’re pieces in the blueprint, but that blueprint is always under renovation. We’re all deciding toward who we were always meant to be, choosing, mutating, growing into ourselves. Friends are the qualities we want to absorb. What we want to be.”
― Elle Kennedy, The Dare

“I'm not a delicate flower that you should fear crushing in your palm."
"No, you're delicate like a bomb.”
― K.A. Linde, The Wren in the Holly Library
