the kindness of strangers really gets to me. i love that how she mentions the kind, simple gestures ppl you barely know, make. like the custodian in her bf’s apt filling the hot cocoa machine in the afternoon knowing she drinks two cups in the evening 😭 or eating popsicles with the doormen. wholesome human things i’m a sucker for

this.

“What we needed to raise in others was this instinct. The ability to recognize, in an instant, right from wrong. The clarity of mind to face it rather than ignore it, I learned that before they had chased Brock, they had checked on me.

chanel’s writing so refreshing. i tear up after almost every page and it’s because despite all that has happened, she writes with such power and grace. i feel so honored to know her story through her own words
