My feet sink into the sand and I realize I do not want things to change. I want things to go back to the way they were, which I guess is another sort of changing, but it is not what Issa is talking about.

“Appetite is embarrassing enough; visibly trying to satiate it, utterly mortifying.”

“I know that feeling too well—the sickly blend of shame and anger, even after all these years still not being sure who to blame more: them or yourself. The deadly undercurrent of hope that one day, just maybe, they might change their minds and come back for you.”

“But Nick's tired of dead queers. Nick's tired of people like him having to suffer in order to provide the right kind of ending. He's done his time with shame and doesn't want any more of it.”

“In hindsight, I was such a fool to have assumed Qieluo would stand by me just because she’s also female.
It was my grandmother who crushed my feet in half.
It was my mother who encouraged me and Big Sister to offer ourselves up as concubines so our brother could afford a future bride.
It was always the village aunties who’d sit around gossiping about which girl hadn’t been married off yet, despite complaining nonstop about their own husbands. And then they’d congratulate new mothers for being “blessed” to have a boy, despite being female themselves.”
