Kindle Notes & Highlights
No one’s hooked on phonics when Janet’s around.
Maybe there was a time when Janet showed her true self, but something happened. Somewhere, at some point, Janet decided to internalize every unpleasant moment, and now she cowered at every little thing.
“I just don’t know what’s happened to me. I’ve become too timid, too scared, too ashamed to do all of the things I dream of doing. I’ve gotten so comfortable with letting people push me around, and now I don’t know how to change it. How am I supposed to get what’s inside me OUT? I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to be happy until I do. I’m afraid to believe that this is just who I am and all I’m ever going to be.”
