Kindle Notes & Highlights
As if you couldn’t like one place and want to see another.
There is a rhythm to moving through the world alone. You discover what you can and cannot live without, the simple necessities and small joys that define a life. Not food, not shelter, not the basic things a body needs—those are, for her, a luxury—but the things that keep you sane. That bring you joy. That make life bearable.
Books, she has found, are a way to live a thousand lives—or to find strength in a very long one.
