Este libro me recuerda que las madres son humanos que una vez dieron vida a otros humanos. Aterriza la maternidad.

"Rather, it’s the fear that I’ve learned less from my childhood than I should have, that I am more like her than I want to be." I put my phone down to stare at the ceiling

“Contar historias es una lucha contra el olvido, contra la pérdida e incluso contra la mortalidad. Cada vez que se cuenta una historia sobre alguien que está muerto, es una resurrección. Cada vez que se cuenta una historia sobre el pasado, estamos doblemente vivos.”

Encuentro esta cita tan cierta, y me fascina haberla encontrado precisamente hoy de todos los días.

Decir que amé el relato de Dylan Landis sería quedarme corta. El dolor punzante de lo que pudo haber sido presente en cada página como una cruda comparación con lo que sí fue y cómo este amarga la existencia de quien lo vive es tan real que me hallé derramando unas cuantas lágrimas. ¿Cobardía o prudencia? Solo Dios puede juzgarlo. Un relato hermoso y doloroso a partes iguales.

Creo que no es mi tipo de historia porque hasta ahora no me ha atrapado del todo, un poco aburrida y plana.

Disfruté mucho el relato de Melissa. En varias ocasiones me hallé identificándome con sus palabras y sintiéndome al borde de las lágrimas.

‘where my stepfather makes me a box, and my mother teaches me how to keep my secrets inside…she taught me. like with the broken baubles in my old jewelry box, i just close the lid’

The stories can be broken up into questions for me so far:
1. What is communicated and lost through silence between parent and child?
2. Does it “matter” if we label abuse? Who does this serve when attempting to repair a relationship?
3. How many sacrifices can a mother’s love take? Is it endless like many mothers would want us to believe?

I'm listening to the audio, and it is so incredible. Each author reads their own essay about the things they don't talk to their mom about it. GUT wrenching

El ensayo de lengua materna por Carmen Maria Machado me hizo pensar en la maternidad, el decidir ser madre y lo sano que puede ser dejar esa relación madre e hija. Mi ensayo favorito hasta ahora.

The other thing that saved me was being in a long-term romantic relationship. I tantrummed for years and when I was done, he was still there. With him I had all the emotions I had not been allowed to have as a child, because for the first time, I knew I was safe. Some deep part of me recognized that I could trust him, even though I didnt consciously believe this until years later.

"This is how I survived my childhood: I disappeared. As a child, I slipped into books, and everything around me, including my own body, faded away. It was a very conscious act. I've never really fully returned from that early dissociation" - FFS this hit hard....

"Sometimes they said we spoke English well and it was supposed to be a compliment. They didn't seem to know that we had been born with the language in our mouths because of a certain cruel history, so we smiled and said thank you."

¿por qué me dejó una compra de súper hecha, un regalo y un pastel, como si hubieran podido compensar su ausencia?

hoy ya no me debe ni le debo disculpas porque sé que cada una está sola y que solas estamos juntas
