"honestly i’m dropping this one. not because it’s bad but for the same reason i still haven’t finished the first season of the handmaid’s tale: because i’m just sick to death of dystopian fiction. it’s suffocating. i’m still getting over future home of the living god’s downer ending, and i want to live by mama ursula’s ideas of reading, writing and promoting more hopeful futures." — Jan 29, 2018 09:49AM

“And if I fight, then for what?"
"For nothing easy or sweet, and I told you that last year and the year before that. For your own challenge, for your own mistakes and the punishment for them, for your own definition of love and of sanity - a good strong self with which to begin to live.”

“There are times when it will go so wrong that you will barely be alive, and times when you realise that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else's terms.”
