"Only two pages later but...nooo what in the actual fuck. 😭 Also: ... my mother has no secrets; instead she calls what she has pride keepers – things you store within yourself in order to preserve your pride. The mum is about as scary as everyone else including the narrator. Girl what are we doing here and how do we get out." — Jan 06, 2026 02:30PM

“She was successful at sustainable unhappiness, stable enough so that she came to work without fail but soaked so thoroughly in misery that each night she couldn't remember what she'd done that day and melted like a rum cake in her whipped-cotton-sheeted, cool white bed.”
― Chaya Bhuvaneswar, White Dancing Elephants
