Sally Rooney
“Suffering wouldn't make me special, and pretending not to suffer wouldn't make me special. Talking about it, or even writing about it, would not transform the suffering into something useful. Nothing would.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

“You think everyone you like is special, she said.
I tried to sit up and the bathtub was hard on my bones.
I’m just a normal person, she said. When you get to like someone, you make them feel like they’re different from everyone else.”

“According to you the only way to love someone is to let them treat you like shit”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

“Living with audacity isn’t just about strength. I’ve learned that there’s bravery in being vulnerable, too. In the past, I’ve run from challenges, withdrawn from loved ones and cheated on partners, all because I didn’t have the courage I needed to face tough situations properly. Accepting who I used to be, admitting I was wrong and apologising for the mistakes I’ve made hasn’t been easy, but you’ve got to forgive yourself and fix up if you want to move forward. I love the wild child who still exists in my stand-up and is woven through my writing. I tried to kill her a hundred thousand times before accepting that the angry-baby-musical-theatre-kid-weirdo is not only an inescapable part of who I am, but that it’s maybe the best part. She’s certainly got the most unique tools and is probably the entire reason I’ve been able to pursue this incredible life authentically. Having”
Katherine Ryan, The Audacity
