Cursed Quotes

“Watching other people walk never used to amaze me, but now it does. It's so effortless for normal people, with all their body parts moving in perfect harmony. I watch a woman rise from a bus stop bench, effortlessly. Her brain just tells her muscles to engage and up she goes. I can barely remember it being that way for me. Now every movement's a struggle.”

“It dawns on me that this is probably the first time I've hugged my dad since he moved out, which just makes me hug harder, and suddenly there's so much I want to ask him - like: Wasn't there some way he and Mom could have worked it out and did he miss me before I came to live with him and does he still love me even though he hates Mom now? But I don't ask him any of that because if I did, then I'd definitely start crying and I may not be able to stop - ever. So I just keep hugging.”
