Esther’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for El día que me venció el olvido

El día que me venció el olvido by Edmaris Carazo

1 note & 3 highlights

Pensar no es como correr bicicleta, se le olvida a uno cómo usar la cabeza si no la usa a menudo. El Señor obra de maneras misteriosas. Ojalá mi herencia se haya detenido en el cáncer.

“Time is an anarchy.

There are whole sections of years that have, in my mind, disappeared, time revealing its tricks to me like a cocky necromantic. The gaps are caverns of absence, temporal wormholes, where all I can recall is the sensation of being stretched between many different dimensions of crisis at once.”
― Camonghne Felix, Dyscalculia: A Love Story of Epic Miscalculation

“Everyone needed a granular level of detail that I hadn't yet collected prior to their asking, so every conversation was a violent unearthing, an ongoing pluck, and a prodding at the thin, wearying skin of my psyche.”

“Mom chose to wean me off the Ritalin, inspired none by the lack of general information provided to her about the drug itself or how it might affect me long-term. I came back to the living world more irritable and angsty than I'd been before, more skeptical too, offended that I seemed to be the only one who knew that I had physically and spiritually lost time.”

“[...] to live out my own violence on the bodies of the people I want desperately to love and be loved by, to live it out and to fail, so radically, so dangerously, with so much harm around me, not having known that I put myself miles away from the love I desperately want and need, with my inability to see how zero is indivisible, how you welcome in the negatives when you try to give from a well where the water never was and will never be again. I couldn't live this way anymore. So I died.”
― Camonghne Felix, Dyscalculia: A Love Story of Epic Miscalculation
