“I'm beginning to think that's kind of what being an adult is. Learning that sometimes people are a little bit wrong, but not for the reasons you think they are, and also a little bit right, and you try to take the good with the bad.”

“After I heard, I switched the radio to music and turned it up as load as it would go and let myself cry...You've likely never seen me like that. Almost no one has. It has never earned me anything to share my darker self with other people.

That is what a woman's strength looks like when it's palatable: like she is containing herself.”
― Lauren Wilkinson, American Spy
