Quotes by K.M. Szpara (?)

“I lock doors. I ask questions. I set boundaries.”
― K.M. Szpara, Docile

5 likes

“Despite how lost I feel, this situation is familiar. That someone is asking my consent as if I have a choice. Pay to see a doctor or suffer. Register with the ODR or go to debtors' prison. Go down on Dutch or be humiliated - punished. Impossible choices I've made, if you can call it that.
I know when I say, "Yes," it's the same, here.”
― K.M. Szpara, Docile
