“The tower demolishes, but it also liberates. Everything must fall, including limitations. The star displays renewed hope, tranquility, and beauty. It’s a shimmering beginning that can only be accessed after the destruction of all that we once knew.”

Chapter 15 - tattooing ritual

**inhale ~ exhale** So. Damn. Good.

“All my life, I’d apologized to everyone for everything. I strived endlessly to atone for sins that had never belonged to me.

It felt like a radical, revolutionary act to take up this much space, to tell the world I was done carrying excess weight.”

We would never be like them.
