Kindle Notes & Highlights
take off your shoes, watch your step, don’t touch anything too fragile. I am brittle and easy to break: be careful. that way, when you leave, you can leave without a trace. that way, when you’re gone, I won’t be haunted by your mud tracks and fingerprints. I can’t handle another mess to clean up.

I am going stir-crazy inside my skull, peeling off the wallpaper with short, bitten nails. there are no emergency exits here: I am left to claw myself out.
it’s survival of the fittest, not everyone will thrive. we’re pushed so far that we go against the instinct to survive.
I work so hard to be the hero. but then I sabotage myself, picking out poisoned apples and eating them like candy. I am the antagonistic protagonist of my own story.
and I know I shouldn’t rely on love from other people. but if someone else can love me, that means it’s possible for me to do it as well.
be grateful that time will heal the wounds but leave the scars. how else will you remember all that you’ve survived?
