Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute

by Talia Hibbert

“Even if neither of us ever did anything interesting in our entire lives, it wouldn’t matter. You don’t need to be special or significant to have value. You’re just important, always, and people either see that or they don’t. They either love you, or they don’t.”

You just needed to figure out on your own that…that fairness is about you being happy, not him being punished.”

I want things to be just. I want things to be good. I want harm to be made up for—the same things Katharine Breakspeare fights for when she takes on these human rights cases. That’s what I care about. That’s who I am. And maybe I’ve let that shape my choices in a way that does me no good, but choices can change. I have control over that. I have control over myself.
