books i read in 2018: Flâneuse, Lauren Elkin

“Environments inhabit us. These places that we take into ourselves and make part of us, so that we made of all the places we've loved, or of all the places where we've changed. We pick up bits and pieces from each of them, and hold them all in ourselves.”

READ IN 2018 || the star-touched queen 

No matter where we are, we’ll always share the same sky.                        We can always find each other in the same constellation.

READ IN 2018 || grace and fury 

My father used to say that oppression isn’t a finite state. It’s a weight that is carried until it becomes too heavy, and then it is thrown off. Not without struggle, not without pain, but he believed the weight would always, always be fought and overcome.

READ IN 2018 || girls made of snow and glass 

You’ll see too, one day. Once you grow older, someone else will be waiting to take your place, someone younger and prettier than you. I knew that day was approaching for me. I knew even when you were still a child. So why am I so surprised to learn that I’m being thrown aside? 

                 Why am I always so surprised?

“That’s life, August,” she said. “You wanted to feel alive, right? It doesn’t matter if you’re a monster or a human.                                         Living hurts.”
