“There I went again, building up a glamorous picture of a man who would love me passionately the minute he met me, and all out of a few prosy nothings.” SIS… stop being so personal omg

“I felt purged and holy and ready for a new life.” oh… she really really gets it.

“Of course, I would never have succeeded with this scheme if I hadn’t made that A in the first place. And if my Class Dean had known how scared and depressed I was, and how I seriously contemplated desperate remedies such as getting a doctor’s certificate that I was unfit to study chemistry, the formulas made me dizzy and so on.” UMM are you just straight adding a part of my lore??? who gave u my info?? l

“The silence depressed me. It wasn’t the silence of silence. It was my own silence.” she gets it…

“Well, aquariums cost a ton. We were broke then, but my dad found an enormous styrofoam tub somewhere, the kind that has a lid. We could only see in from above, but we made it into the best aquarium ever.”

“Know what’s funny about letters? Unless you beg the person who you sent them to, you never get to read the letters you wrote again. Isn’t that weird? Anyway, I’m taking excellent care of your letters, just in case you ever want to know what you sounded like when you were fourteen.”

“someone with Taurus as their Sun sign is not simply just an Earth sign. There are a multitude of other alliances and correlations—perhaps their rising sign is Leo (Fire)”

“The measure and make of the Witch is found more subtly in the layers of being, doing, feeling, building, and knowing.”

“our task is to think and act more collectively while supporting the freedom of the individual. to standardize the humane treatment of all people. to expand our idea of human rights to include economic empowerment. to dream and act big. to be the leaders we wish existed. we have the power to reorganize the world and make compassion structural.” clock that

“the forces of racism and heteropatriarchy exist on the interpersonal and structural level. they impact our institutions and insidiously slow down the flow of compassion in our minds.”

real

“the deepest bonds are held together by a bridge of honesty. real love holds space for vulnerability, a place where we can be open, raw, and even share parts of ourselves that are not fully formed but are ready to be expressed.” !!!!!

“if we do not address our accumulated subconscious patterns, they will simply remain there, always affecting how we think, speak, and act. our accumulated wounds
and conditioning will restrict our flexibility and cause us to get stuck in a loop that continues repeating the past.” wow… 30 minutes of having a conversation with someone (a stranger) changed my perception of this… the phrase and the book…

“in reality, the past is constantly pushing itself into the present, inclining us toward replicating old emotions and thoughts. the insistence of our mental past gives us little room to decide for ourselves how we actually want to feel. the past does not take into account how things truly are.”

“the self-awareness needed to stop causing ourselves and others harm is not just about knowing our own inner mechanics, our trauma, the moments when we are projecting, or how our reactions impact our perceptions. it is also about taking the time to understand what society has encoded in our minds without our explicit permission.”
REALLLL

“lean into the light. keep going even when it is hard. especially when it is hard. do not let doubt stop you. trust the process when your mood is low. let growth be your mission. let healing be your reward. let freedom be your goal.”

“we laughed again, running through the full car park where the last of the stragglers could be seen, collapsing their umbrellas and disappearing inside.”

“Da sat in beside me I looked at him and tried to think of the cruelest word I knew and found I had to make do with bastard. Bastard for a white lily, bastard. Bastard. Bastard.”

i’m so sad

‘Juno,’ he says. ‘You mother would be very proud.’ He knew my name; he’d taken time to learn it and say it to me in case I’d forgot myself completely.

i can’t stop crying i swear

“I knew I couldn’t, that my body had calcified. My bones, my thickening blood, and just then, my heart, I felt, had stopped.”

i don’t know what to expect from this book, i haven’t read the description or reviews of it… finally reading a book blindly

“We stood across from each other and watched, beaten in turn. But we couldn’t be hurt, not when the other was there. I imagined it was Legs doing the hitting and it wasn’t so bad, not when it was someone who cared, even a little.”

ummm me and who????

“On the other hand, his father’s Scottish ancestry enabled Alexander to daydream that he was not merely a West Indian outcast, consigned forever to a lowly status, but an aristocrat in disguise, waiting to declare his true identity and act his part on a grander stage.” 👏🏻
