It Must Be Beautiful to Be Finished Quotes

“Because shame is hard to scrub from the bones.
Because trauma doesn’t end; it echoes.
Because I wanted to end this story with me in my thirties, looking in the mirror and loving my body, but that’s not how this goes.
Because true stories ping between crisis and resolution, back and forth and back again, peace and horror, peace and horror.”
― Kate Gies, It Must Be Beautiful to Be Finished: A Memoir of My Body
