“this is
an overdue
love letter
to each
& every
woman
who walked
these fields
before me
&
made
the path
soft enough
for me to
walk through
to get to
the side
they could
never reach.
for that,
i owe you
so much.
- but i owe some things to myself, too.”
― Amanda Lovelace, The Witch Doesn't Burn in This One

“i
can't seem
to recall
agreeing
to be a
casualty
of these
manmade
disasters”
― Amanda Lovelace, The Witch Doesn't Burn in This One

“my self-worth shouldn’t feel like an act of bravery.”
― Amanda Lovelace, The Witch Doesn't Burn in This One

“tell me
something,
would you?

haven't you
ever wished

you could
dance

in the ashes
of everyone who

ever doubted
your worth

& scoffed at
your words?

(shh
it's okay.
i won't tell)”
