“I learn big girls,
even obese ones,
were once seen as
normal,
preferred,
beautiful.

I can't imagine a world so...
safe.

As I flip through the pages,
I start thinking that if I'd lived back then,
it could have been me
in the pictures,
as sculptures,
as art.”
― Lisa Fipps, Starfish

“I would say, some people are like constellations that only touch the earth for a season.”
― Madeline Miller, Circe
