“Being pretty only kept me trapped in a world that valued looks above all else.”

“Sleeping, waking, it all collided into one gray, monotonous plane ride through the clouds. I didn’t talk to myself in my head. There wasn’t much to say. This was how I knew the sleep was having an effect: I was growing less and less attached to life. If I kept going, I thought, I’d disappear completely, then reappear in some new form. This was my hope. This was the dream.”

“If you find yourself trapped inside a dimming world, remember it was always this dark inside the body.”

“Because nothing could be taken from me, I thought, if I had already given it away.”
