Not into it so far, may just be because I'm SO tired of non-fiction.

“There is a difference between the fear of upsetting someone who loves you and the danger of losing them. For a long time I couldn’t separate them. It has taken me some work to discern the differences between the pain of hurting those I love and my fear of what I might lose. Hurting those we love is survivable. It is inevitable.”

Machado’s and Aciman’s essays were one of the best so far!

This is an excellent book. You get to see how our childhoods play a role in who we become.

“she almost always feels attacked. what i cannot tell my mother is that she hurt me, and i’m angry but it doesn’t matter as much any longer. we all hurt one another. she couldn’t not have hurt me, she couldn’t not have made me angry. what i wish that i could tell her is that i’m finally okay with that.”
