Kindle Notes & Highlights
I have a to-do list and I enjoy crossing out tasks from it so much that sometimes I write things I’ve already done just so that I can enjoy the satisfaction of striking through them.
this life could be gorgeous if only I gave myself permission to allow it.
There’s no competition, no devil’s advocating, because why does anyone need to advocate for the devil? They say, ‘I’ve never thought about that before,’ and ‘How does that make you feel?’ until each sentence layers on top of another like bricks for a house we could all live in.
Men say women aren’t funny and I think that’s because they need a badum-bum-tish punchline; they don’t see that the humour is riddled through everything we say, so that everyone’s always laughing a little bit. Most of the time we talk through the language of experiences, a few too many of them painful, and we find our way to those hurts and tug them out of each other, like following the trail of a map we didn’t know was already inside us.
