I know I’m reading this so slowly but it’s not because I don’t love it please I LOVE IT I’m just a busy girl!

I do not adjust myself to please the world. I am myself wherever I am, and I let the world adjust…Anything or anyone I could lose by telling the truth was never mine anyway; I’m willing to lose anything that requires me to hide any part of myself to keep.

“If you are uncomfortable, in deep pain, angry, yearning, confused, you don’t have a problem. You have a life. Being human is not hard because you’re doing it wrong; it’s hard because you’re doing it right.” This might be favorite Glennon Doyle quote of all time because she puts into words exactly how my soul feels trying to navigate this life.

“There is a life meant for you that is truer than the one you’re living. But in order to have it, you will have to forge it yourself. You will have to create on the outside what you are imagining on the inside. Only you can bring it forth. And it will cost you everything.”

“It doesn’t see like being alive is as hard for other people as it is for me. It just feels like there’s some secret to life that I don’t know, like I’m doing it all wrong.”

“You’re not doing life wrong; you’re doing it right. If there’s any secret you’re missing, it’s that doing it right is just really hard. Feeling all your feelings is hard…the secret is that you’re doing it right.”

“I was filled with electric thunder, simmering water, fiery red and gold, but all I had to do was smile and nod and the world would take me for easy breezy blue. Sometimes I wondered if I wasn’t the only one using her skin to contain herself. Maybe we are all fire wrapped in skin, trying to look cool.”

“We forgot how to know when we learned how to please. This is why we live hungry.”

Back to my Bible

“The world had decided that to be fallible was weak. But we are all fallible. The strong ones are the ones who accept it.”

The rolled up sleeves reference is too good 😂

I am soooooo ready

Oh…my…😳 this is freaking insane hahahaha

I have sooooooo many thoughts and I am fully obsessed

Vegetarian 🤝 book about eating eyeballs

“Why he could commit to the work and art of this place but not the work and art of us. How alcohol decides what to destroy and what to leave alone.” I’m struck by how alcohol is described as a character itself in this book.

Ma’am that is your uncle!

Oh boy this is SO sad

“Sometimes a woman’s choice is between impossible and impossible and impossible, and she just has to make it.”

“I’ve learned how big of a dream it is to have a small life.”

I KNEWWWWW IT! I knew it so much that I didn’t even want to post an update guessing at this 50 pages ago because I knew it would’ve been a spoiler!!!

Nooooo I accidentally undownloaded my library loan 😭😭😭 brb kids

Again, no idea what’s going on here but I’m having a good time

I have no idea what’s happening in the plot but I’m having a good time

“She had been born wrong. Had been born with claws and fangs and had never been able to keep from using them, never been able to quell the part of her that roared at betrayal, that could hate and love more violently than anyone ever understood.”

Everyone is soooooo emo

This was VERY unexpected. But you know what. I’m here for it. I’d trust V E Schwab with my life so I’m trusting this story

Is the Nightmare supposed to be scary? He’s kinda like a sassier version of Lizzie McGuire’s imaginary voice in her head

FYI I’m obsessed with this

I’m crushing so hard on Ramy

I did NOT like reading Kit manipulating Lenora’s body in ways she shouldn’t as her caregiver. But there was still a voice saying “wellllll Lenora’s looking suspicious and Kit is just doing her due diligence.” It’s an interesting gray area, because I don’t think we’re actually meant to really like or dislike Kit. I think we’re supposed to see her as morally gray and potentially unreliable narrator.
