Break down the self, offer yourself up like dust to the universe.

They didn’t have very far to fall - I knew just being a girl in the world handicapped your ability to believe yourself.

#The Girls by Emma Cline#The Girls#Emma Cline#book quotes#book edit#bookblr#1960s#cults#60s music#the doors#amaricana#pacific northwest#re reading this book and it still creeps into my heart laying poison spores that make my ache#I cant fathom how close the book is to me#the way it perfectly understands the 14 year old self#as i rethink my transness i can’t help but see how much of girlhood i missed out on and this summer iv finally been able to reconnect to it#i might not be as nonbinary and trans as i was in the past but that doesn’t make that time of myself not trans i’m just learning that#with the right people and the right book i need to take care and love the girl inside of me#to be a gross girl roaming around in bare feet and in a delapitated mise infested house#this book makes me think a lot
