Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I am five-six, thank you.” I was five-five.
I quote this all the time
“People who want to be famous think it’s the same thing as being loved, but it’s not. Strangers can only ever love a version of you. People loving you for your best qualities is not the same as people loving you despite your worst.”
I couldn’t believe I was being forced to have this conversation.
Me too this sub plot is horribly written
“I think just because you can’t keep something doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth it. Nothing lasts forever. What matters is what we take with us. I’ve spent a lot of my life trying to escape. I’ve spent too much time on the run from hard things. But now I wonder if escape is overrated. I think, now, I’m going to try thinking about what I can carry forward. What I can hold onto. Not just only always what I have to leave behind.”
“When you’re not around, even for a little while, I feel like I have to go find you. I just feel this pull to be near you. I want to know what you’re thinking, and what you’re up to, and how you feel. I want to take you places and show you things. I want to memorize you—to learn you like a song. And that nightgown, and the way you get so cranky when I leave my stuff all over the place, and the way you tie your hair back in that crazy bun. You make me laugh every single day—and nobody makes me laugh. I feel like I’ve been lost all my life until now—and somehow with you I’m just … found.”
So I decided something right then: Every chance you take is a choice. A choice to decide who you are.
I grabbed it as I went by, without missing a step, and—because women in this world somehow don’t deserve pockets—shoved it into the side of my bra.
Lol
COME TO THE DARK SIDE. WE HAVE COOKIES.
I didn’t have a manual, or a playbook, or any idea what would work.
For a bodyguard you would think they would be trained for this type of situation
The people we love help teach us who we are. The best versions of who we are, if we’re lucky.
