      the essay by melissa febos felt like a very subtle advertisement for her books. “here’s everything i wanted to tell my mother that i wrote about in my book and sent to her but i won’t tell you what it is i’ll just tell you her reaction” 🧍♀️

      esta es la parte más triste de nuestra historia. Mi madre recuerda una vida diferente a la que 
hemos vivido con ella
desearía haberla conocido mejor
creo que habríamos sido grandes amigos

      «deben nadar lo suficientemente bien para que, si el bote se hunde, ustedes consigan llegar hasta la orilla», nos decía. Pero en esta situación yo no sabía dónde estaba la orilla

      ‘the same story about my mom’ resonates with me so so so much. 
what i cannot tell my mother is that she hurt me and im angry, but it doesnt matter as much any longer. we all hurt one another. she could not not have hurt me. she could not not have made me angry. what i wish that i could tell her is that i am, finally, okay with that.
*i am learning to be okay with that.

      The dread I felt did not rise from my thoughts but from my gut, from some corporeal logic that had kept meticulous track of every mistake before this one. That believed there was a finite number of times one could break someone’s heart before it hardened to you.

      I don’t think I’m going to finish this. Most of these essays are semi interesting but just not powerful enough to enjoy listening to essay after essay about mothers. And I love essays on mothers!!

      Brandon Taylor wrote, “I wish I had gotten to know her [his mom] better. I think we would have been great friends. I wish I had tried harder. Sooner. This isn’t enough. It’ll never be enough. But I have to stop for now.” On the verge of tears at work 😭💔😭💔

      “Thinking about it now breaks me. But you don’t like tears, so I held them until our girl came back and you went home, and then I cried for all of us.” 💔💔💔💔
