“The point was never that you adjusted everything around you until it was made perfect, but that you adjusted the way you see everything until you realize that it is enough, and it always has been.”
Brianna Wiest, When You're Ready, This Is How You Heal

Jia Tolentino
“I cling to the Milan women's understanding of these literary heroines as mothers. I wish I had learned to read them in this way years ago--with the same complicated, ambivalent, essential freedom that a daughter feels when she looks at her mother, understanding her as a figure that she simultaneously resists and depends on; a figure that she uses, cruelly and lovingly and gratefully, as the base from which to become something more.”
Jia Tolentino, Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion

Scott Turow
“Guilt is a commando who arrives in stealth and then sabotages everything.”
Scott Turow, Innocent

Jia Tolentino
“A woman is unruly if anyone has incorrectly decided that she’s too much of something, and if she, in turn, has chosen to believe that she’s just fine.”
Jia Tolentino, Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion

“And maybe in the end, the kindest possible thing you could do for yourself is to know that there is nothing that holds us back more than the important words that went unspoken, the deep instincts that went unfelt, the callings that went unanswered. Your life is reaching toward you, and maybe the kindest possible thing you could do is reach back.”
Brianna Wiest, When You're Ready, This Is How You Heal
