"I'm barely into the book and I don't think I'll make it. This reminds me of middle school, emo-punk poetry - lots of angst, finger pointing, but little substance" — Dec 24, 2018 09:18PM

“My mom said I had serious trust issues, but honestly, the more people I met, the more I didn’t want to meet more.”
― From Lukov with Love
― From Lukov with Love
“If God made all our faces, did he laugh when he made me?
Does he make the legs that cannot walk and eyes that cannot see?
Does he curl the hair upon my head 'til it rebels in wild defiance?
Does he close the ears of a deaf man to make him more reliant?
Is the way I look a coincidence or just a twist of fate?
If he made me this way, is it okay, to blame him for the things I hate?
For the flaws that seem to worsen every time I see a mirror,For the ugliness I see in me, for the loathing and the fear.
Does he sculpt us for his pleasure, for a reason I can't see?
If God makes all our faces, did he laugh when he made me?”

“Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore.”
