Kindle Notes & Highlights
Minneapolis is fine during the summer but too empty during winter. And I have too much ice on the inside to live with the dark and cold.
He wants me to feel self-conscious, but the truth is that a man like Steven doesn’t want to immerse himself in someone else’s world. It gives the author too much power. It makes Steven feel small.
I love losing myself in someone else’s world. I like learning how others’ lives work even if I don’t understand them.
Emotion is sticky as tar, and it’s hard to get off you, which is why I’ve spent my whole life trying to avoid exposing my skin to it.
When other people are suffering, it’s because they’re not righteous. But when our people suffer, it’s only a test of faith.
In my experience, men try to talk women into opening their legs from the moment girls can walk on them. Men stand in for the Lord in this scenario. Always testing us to see if we choose right or wrong. But it’s a trick. There is no right. You’re a tease or a whore. A heartless denier or a Jezebel. Their penises are God’s divining rods, searching out evil.
Harsh but unfortunately too close to truth often.
