“I had spent my adolescence trying to blend in with my peers in suburban America, and had come of age feeling like my belonging was something to prove.

I could never be of both worlds, only half in and half out, waiting to be ejected at will by someone with greater claim than me. Someone whole.”
― Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart
