“Kids or no kids, loneliness lives in our bodies more than ourselves.”

“Funny, for all the elaborate worrying one can do,
Constructing worst-case successes and best-case disasters,
Playing chess against one's future self and imagining we can win when we're not even them yet”

“Trauma does not always carry big battle wounds. Sometimes it appears in the broad daylight of cold wars fought in silence.”

“Here, do me a favour. To sharpen your understanding, try this: well all the spit inside your mouth—now swallow.
Now do it again.
Now, again—don’t waste time, just swallow whatever saliva is in there. Four, five times is kind of annoying, but regulate that to a hundred—a thousand? For days on end—weeks, months? Now can you see exactly what I mean when I say the body doesn’t need much to simultaneously turn itself into your oppressor— into the site of your oppression?”
― Sofia Ajram, Coup de Grâce
