Quotes by S.J. Pajonas (?)

“This was what I loved about books. Even when my life was low, I was happy to lose myself in fiction and forget about it for a short while.”
― S.J. Pajonas, The Daydreamer Detective Braves The Winter

“She could look past the dirtiest, most unkempt person and find the beauty inside of them without so much as blinking. A true gift.”
― S.J. Pajonas, The Daydreamer Detective

“I was a stone-hard kind of drunk. I didn’t get mushy, lovie, or sloppy. I merely became a rock — silent and immobile. Unless I was alone with someone I liked and then the truth poured out of my mouth like a waterfall in the spring after the snow had melted.”
― S.J. Pajonas, The Daydreamer Detective

S.J.’s Quotes

“I almost turned around right there. Stupid, yeah, but PTSADS doesn’t care how stupid a trigger is. If you need me to spell that out, it’s Post-Traumatic Stuffed Animal Death Syndrome. I thought it was pretty funny. Mom and the psychologist did not. The psychologist said I had substituted George for Dad and I actually had post-dad syndrome. I told her George was a fucking bunny.”
― Leah Raeder, Unteachable
