I can’t tell you exactly what I’m looking for, but I’ll know it when it happens. I want to be breathless and weak, crumpled by the entrance of another person inside my soul.

for the thesis i covered a lot of women’s engagement with the fairy tale. i read a lot of anne sexton, angela carter, i spent like two weeks reading everything i could find from catherynne m valente only to end up not using it.
but the one retelling that makes me cry every time without fail is the color master by aimee bender. the whole collection is worth it, but that story in particular you MUST read.
