“I packed all these little things into a box and I tucked them away somewhere I would never have to think about them ever again. Somewhere the couldn’t hurt me. Somewhere they couldn’t make me hurt myself.”

“I get through a whole poem without anyone trying to talk to me. Two poems. Two and a half. Why didn’t I think of this before? Read a book – such a simple solution…. I return to the page where I left off. But my eyes slide upward. Faces look at me funny – funnier than usual. No one else in the cafeteria is reading. The point of the book was to draw attention away from me, to show that I’m busy, unavailable, otherwise engaged. But it’s backfiring.”
― Christina Collins, After Zero
