“I should have known, I've been an exterminator for eleven years, and I fucking hate it. Haven't always, though. The hate didn't come until a couple years in. That's always the case, isn't it? You don't see the cracks until the foundation's already set.”
― Mark Bouchard, It Took Luke: Overworked & Underpaid

“The only reason I’m brave is because the world is cruel, and that isn’t something to glamorize.”
― R.M. Virtues, Drag Me Up

“It’s shocking to wake up in one world and find yourself in another by nightfall, but the situation isn’t actually all that unusual. You wake up married, then your spouse dies over the course of the day. You wake up in peacetime and by noon your country is at war; you wake up in ignorance and by the evening it’s clear that a pandemic is already here.”
― Emily St. John Mandel, Sea of Tranquility

“Loneliness if often exacerbated by a perception that one is lonely while everyone else is connected. It's exaggerated by a sensation of being outside something that others seem to be in on: a family, a couple, a friendship, a joke.
Perhaps now we can learn how flawed that kind of thinking is, because loneliness is one of the most universal things any person can feel.”
