But how is it done, how is control over your life possible when you have no money, and no prospect of getting more than a little to survive on? To exist on was closer to the truth. Because that is what you are doing: existing, not living.

House of tears.

The people she had worked with, and the location, had felt impersonal and never close to familiarity, as if to communicate the message: Don’t get used to it. She couldn’t help taking that to heart.

Like the carpenters union temp job 2006

on a school trip to Rome she had seen people order coffee in a way that made her recoil.

You’re broken.

And in the darkest places only kindness matters.
