“I told myself that I didn't need any of that shit, but there it was, repeated to me day after day after day. And when you're surrounded by a bunch of mostly strangers experiencing the same thing, unable to call home, tethered to routine on ranchland miles away from anybody who might have known you before, might have been able to recognize the real you if you told them you couldn't remember who she was, it's not really like being real at all. It's plastic living. It's living in a diorama. It's living the life of one of those prehistoric insects encased in amber: suspended, frozen, dead but not, you don't know for sure.”
Emily M. Danforth, The Miseducation of Cameron Post

“...and there I was sending all the wrong signals to the right people in the wrong ways. Again, again, again.”
Emily M. Danforth, The Miseducation of Cameron Post
