“The fatigue you feel with fibromyalgia goes way beyond just being tired. It’s as if your body is an old cell phone or battery that can only charge 10 percent but tells you it’s at 100 percent. You just don’t have normal energy levels, and what you do have runs out quickly.”

“We must slowly unravel daily to understand that our liberation, freedom, and everything we need is already within us. It doesn’t matter how much money we make, how much time we can get off work, and how many vacations we take. What matters is that in our hearts and souls we have decided to refuse and not wait until we have enough or have the perfect number of external things for our rest to be approved by the larger system.”

“The witch as a figure is so queer. In the 1800s the word queer meant “to spoil, to ruin.” The witch dissolves the boundaries of what we think we know, shapeshifts and challenges our perceptions—for instance, the idea that there are just two genders.”
