Anni (she • her)

“I have to try, because I’m doing it again—I’m shutting everything out because I’m frustrated and tired and because the real world is difficult and I’d rather live in one of my own making.”
― Francesca Zappia, Eliza and Her Monsters

“Für mich ist die Liebe so wie Bücher in einer Bibliothek. Sie gehören uns nicht, und wir müssen sorgsam mit ihnen umgehen. Wenn wir das nicht tun, zahlen wir eine hohe Gebühr.”
― Lori Nelson Spielman, Heute schon für morgen träumen

“If I like a book, I devour it in one sitting, and then I forget a lot. It's fine with me, because I read them over and over again.”
― Francesca Zappia, Eliza and Her Monsters

“I learned years ago that it’s okay to do this. To seek out small spaces for me, to stop and imagine myself alone. People are too much sometimes. Friends, acquaintances, enemies, strangers. It doesn’t matter; they all crowd. Even if they’re all the way across the room, they crowd. I take a moment of silence and think:
I am here. I am okay.”
― Francesca Zappia, Eliza and Her Monsters
