quotes from sharp objects that will haunt me forever
• "I'm here, I said, and it felt shockingly comforting, those words. When I'm panicked, I say them aloud to myself. I'm here. I don't usually feel that I am. I feel like a warm gust of wind could exhale my way and I'd be disappeared forever, not even a sliver of a fingernail left behind. On some days I find this thought calming; on others it chills me."
• "Would I ever have the discipline to let the water cover my face, drown with my eyes open? Just refuse to lift yourself two inches and it will be done."
• "I drank the rest of the sours and had dark sticky dreams. My mother had cut me open and was unpacking my organs, stacking them in a row on my bed as my flesh flapped to either side. She was sewing her initials into each of them, then tossing them back into me."
• "This place is miserable and I want to die, but I can't think of any place I'd rather be."
• "I always feel sad for the girl I was, because it never occurred to me that my mother might comfort me. She never told me that she loved me, and I never assumed she did. She tended to me. She administered me. Oh, yes and one time she bought me lotion with Vitamin E."
• "Sometimes if you let people do things to you, you're really doing it to them. If someone wants to do fucked-up things to you and you let them, you're making them more fucked up. Then you have the control. As long as you don't go crazy."
