“The memoir is, at its core, an act of resurrection. Memoirists re-create the past, reconstruct dialogue. They summon meaning from events that have long been dormant.

They put themselves, and others, into necessary context.”
― Carmen Maria Machado

“I roll my eyes. Not just at her but at me and us and whatever the fuck we’re doing with our lives.”

“Broken souls are mended every day by mended souls that were once broken.”
