“In the end, a fairy tale is nothing more than a sense of hope. Hope lures and tricks. It tempts with shining thrones, exquisite nectars, and loving arms. It whispers to us that we are extraordinary. Exempt. Thus lured, we follow its path. Sometimes we are led to riches. Other times, we are led astray. But this hope never hides its shape, and for its honesty we reach for it and pull its sweet and stinking furs up to our chins, for to live without it means living without magic.”
― Roshani Chokshi, The Last Tale of the Flower Bride

“There are certain women who seem to effortlessly embody what a woman is “supposed” to be. Lithe, elegant limbs. Shiny, long, perfectly tousled hair. Charming, but not overbearing or loud. Polite, soft voice. Coy, sexy, but not overt. Thin. Always thin. And you start to feel like if you don’t fit that ideal - if you age out of it or if your body puts you on the fringe of it, or your face does not have the exact symmetry - then you’ll never have the exact life you want. And then you start to accept less, because you can’t become the ideal.”
― Jamie Varon, Main Character Energy
