One Man's Trash Quotes

“They give a lot of lip service to ‘diversity’ and open-mindedness—and most of them follow through—but there’s always this little, loudmouthed subset telling you how to behave and what to say. It starts out ‘all for one, and one for all,’ but by the end, somebody’s drawing lines in the sand, telling you to choose a side. You can’t be gay or bi or trans if you don’t vote a certain way, act a certain way, follow some ridiculous set of rules. They all want you to be a round little peg in a round fucking hole. They want you to pick a box and a label so they know just where to put you, rather than accepting that we’re all separate, unique people, and that our stories are all valid, no matter whether we fit in the box or not.”
― Marie Sexton, One Man's Trash

“-But I hate crying! I feel like it's all I do these days. I’m like a spoiled little kid, always blubbering about something. I wish I was stronger. I wish I could just take it all in stride like you do.
-No, you don’t. Crying doesn’t mean you’re weak. I just think you feel things deeper than most.”
