Electra

“It’s easy to weigh personal experiences against other people’s relationships, but we can’t see the ins and outs and complexities of other couples the way that we understand and live through our own.”
― Krista Ritchie, Fuel the Fire

“I was surrounded by phonies...They were coming in the goddam window.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“And I could’ve drowned in that senseless joy of standing and finding myself tall. Someone that can finally be seen in a mirror. A twin to my dad. But when I glanced back at the pile of flesh with the stretchmarks, I thought; that’s me too. Can I be everything and nothing at the same time? Extra fat, extra parts, narrow bones. A shadow you know is there but whose shape remains unseen until it emerges on concrete. I want a body that’s easy to manipulate.
What a gift that no one sees inside my mind. What a curse that no one sees inside my mind.”
― Trang Thanh Tran, They Bloom at Night

“I knew it wasn't too important, but it made me sad anyway.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
