“When I was younger, I think what I wanted was to travel the world, to lead a glamorous life, to be celebrated for my work, to marry a great intellectual, to reject everything I had been raised with, to cut myself off from the narrow world.

― Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

“If God wanted me to give you up, he wouldn't have made me who I am.”
