“Of course, we can't visit every place or meet every person or do every job, yet most of what we'd feel in any life is still available. We don't have to play every game to know what winning feels like. We don't have to hear every piece of music in the world to understand music. We don't have to have tried every variety of grape from every vineyard to know the pleasure of wine. Love and laughter and fear and pain are universal currencies. We just have to close our eyes and savour the taste of the drink in front of us and listen to the song as it plays. We are as completely and utterly alive as we are in any other life and have access to the same emotional spectrum.”

“Look at your children, your friends, your wives, and your daughters. Don't do what is right because they hold those titles. Do what is right because they are people.”
― Kalynn Bayron, Cinderella Is Dead

“You’re overthinking it.’ ‘I have anxiety. I have no other type of thinking available.”
― Matt Haig, The Midnight Library

“We’ve also rarely heard about people like us and yet here we are. Just because they deny us doesn’t mean we cease to exist.”
― Kalynn Bayron, Cinderella Is Dead
