Kindle Notes & Highlights
it was sort of…comforting, being discovered like that. Like cracking yourself wide open and letting someone see the ugliest parts of you and them not running away in fear or disgust.
Sometimes, the best revenge is just moving on. Thriving while the men who ruined my life sit back and have no say in anything.
“I reject the notion that I’d notice anyone but you,” he says quietly, piercing my heart with the tenderness of his words.
She tastes like absolution, but I’ll bet she fucks like damnation.
Funny how everything changes so swiftly when you’re in love.
The problem with her is that I’ve known all along she would be trouble. I just fear I’ve miscalculated what kind she’d be.
Like she could save me or condemn me, and the entire fate of my soul rests in her hands.
even if I don’t feel strong, my body is proof otherwise. Proof that trauma doesn’t define me.
That my body is mine and mine alone, regardless of whoever decides they have access to it.
Loss is difficult enough, and it becomes a thousand times more insufferable when it’s the kind that could have been avoided.
That we aren’t at risk of catching fire; we’re already there, engulfed in flames with no end in sight.
No one else has ever been willing to save me, when it was all I ever really wanted to begin with. That unconditional kind of love that you’d risk your life on a battlefield for.
