Kindle Notes & Highlights
You never heard that word? You said you’re dominicana. You don’t understand Spanish? Oh, just a little. OK. Desahogar: to undrown, to cry until you don’t need to cry no more.
When Ángela saw me cry, my sister said, You’re drowning in a glass of water.
She understood that I had to cry until I undrowned from the inside.
When you need each other to survive, you forgive. That’s the way it is.
Women know even the things we don’t see.
The less you say, the more the people listen.
Learn this from me: Sometimes when you can’t change your ánimo you have to have people like Hernán to remind you about the important things in life. Sometimes we need help to not drown in a glass of water.
Cara, we must not wait to live the life we want. Find a way to be present with the people you love.
