The Eternal Existentialist

“Love is simply a word we use to explain the biochemical nature of species propagation. It’s something we use to justify the base desire to experience pleasure with another person when in fact it’s just about making procreation more palatable. We say we’re in love, but what we really mean is we want to connect so we don’t feel so alone, and in so doing, create stronger familial constructs that allow us to fend off other familial constructs who want to take what we have.”
― J.T. Ellison, Her Dark Lies

“We hope or we falter.”
― Leigh Bardugo, King of Scars

“But vindication has no power over guilt. No amount of anger or rage directed at others can subdue it, because guilt is never about them. Guilt is the fear of one’s own wretchedness. It has nothing to do with other people.”
― Tara Westover, Educated

“What I want, what I need, and what is right are three entirely different things.”
― Sarah A. Parker, To Bleed a Crystal Bloom
