Traci

“We’re like magnets, you know. Only I’m spinning, so I keep pulling you in and then pushing you away. I like you, but then you hurt me, so I run. I like you, but then something makes things feel impossible, so I turn away. And you. You’re so constant. Your orientation never wavers. You feel what you feel and you want what you want without hesitation or doubt. God, I envy that. I feel like if someone stripped away my hesitation and doubt that there’d be nothing left.”
― Paula Stokes, Ferocious

“Sometimes being poor means having to choose between your principles and your survival.”
― Paula Stokes, Hidden Pieces

“Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.”
― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

“The truth never hurts worse than finding out someone you care about lied to you.”
― Paula Stokes, The Key to Everything
