"Suddenly, I understand why Macbeth went all out to fulfill the prophecy: to do what had to be done to make it happen. Because when you've seen a glimpse of something you really want, it's impossible not to run toward it as hard and as fast as you can. Not to grab for it and hold on tightly. It's difficult to just leave it up to chance, to fate, to the whimsical decisions of a massive, unseen hand." - I Know How This Ends, Holly Smale

No wonder we're all so full of crieria, questions, checklists. We're interviewing someone for the job of loving us forever: a career of live-in affection and support, ending with us dying in each other's arms. - I Know How This Ends, Holly Smale

"And instead of recognizing how completely mad it is, meeting a total stranger based on a few photos and immediatly trying to work out if you're going to be with them for the rest of your life, it becomes normalized. Swiping through a selection of humans-- left, left, left, left, right, -- like we're filling an online supermarket cart. Adding items, in the desperate hope of finding something worth buying. Love has changed to a point where we now expect to take a human we've never met before and make them the most important person in our life, starting from that precious moment. You'll do. Let's go.

"Instead, he assesses me quietly for a few seconds while he thinks about it. I wriggle slightly, pinned down, a cell under a microscope. It's an incredibly rare quality: the ability to sort through your own thoughts before you answer. We're all so trained to believe that an immediate response shows intelligence when actually there's more weight to a pause. A beautiful kind of gravity that keeps everything pinned down while we spin." - I Know How This Ends, Holly Smale

The intimacy is when someone understands the walls you built for your own protection and approaches them with patience instead of pressure

The last three weeks have been really hard for me. Thankfully things are better now. Selfishly, I was excited to finally be on my own. I had things planned out. I shouldn't have done that. I don't know where else to put this but after 3 weeks off, I went back to work yesterday and discovered I got a raise. It says it was for pay equity but a raise is a raise. It was very exciting. I spent the whole night redoing my budget for the end of the year like a dork. This morning, I am feeling less enthusiastic though. This is going to make job hunting much harder. I already have an inbox full of rejection. I really hope getting this certificate will make things better for me. I can't keep working from this house.

a lot of your suffering comes from treating your nature like a problem to manage instead of a design to understand

They weren’t lying when they said that as an adult you have to fight for your life to practice your hobbies

They also weren’t lying when they said that when you fail to do so your soul shrivels up inside your body and dies
