“I wonder how much of a woman’s life is spent this way. Enduring. Waiting for enjoyment or, fuck it, death.”
― Rachel Harrison, Cackle

“I’m sorry someone made you feel like it’s hard to love you,’ she said.”
― Abby Jimenez, Yours Truly

“My favorite books, love songs, movies, the ones that resonated with me, have kept me grieving long after I turned the last page, the notes faded out, or the credits rolled. Because of that, I believed it, because I made myself believe it, and I bred the most masochistic of romantic hearts, which resulted in my illness. When I lived this story, my own twisted fairy tale, it was unbeknownst to me at the time because I was young and naïve. I gave into temptation and fed that beating beast, which grew thirstier with every slash, every strike, every blow. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story because, by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me.”
― Kate Stewart, Flock

“Even if you don’t love me back. Even if it never matters to you or means anything or goes anywhere. I love you.”
― Abby Jimenez, Yours Truly
