“I used to imagine Better was a place you could get to. A moment when I would look around and see that Everything Was Fine. But that’s not how this works. Being better isn’t a battle you fight and win. Feeling okay is a war, one that lasts your whole life, and the only way to win is to keep on fighting.”
― Sam J. Miller, The Art of Starving

Only the teller's left to make amends.”

“People just got born into a house with a bunch of randoms and then were expected to love them regardless of personality or commonality or even, you know, decency. It didn’t make sense. Sure, some people got lucky. But a lot of people didn’t.”
― Kerry Kletter, East Coast Girls
