"I think in the end all I really wanted was for you to see how much I could have loved you."

I'm scared to love because I know I'll love you too much.

“So often we try to make other people feel better by minimizing their pain, by telling them that it will get better (which it will) or that there are worse things in the world (which there are). But that’s not what I actually needed. What I actually needed was for someone to tell me that it hurt because it mattered. I have found this very useful to think about over the years, and I find that it is a lot easier and more bearable to be sad when you aren’t constantly berating yourself for being sad.”

We were looking at the same sky together, which is maybe more intimate than eye contact anyway. Anybody can look at you. It's quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see.

I think it’s kind of funny how coin (who obviously wanted peeta rescued from the arena instead of katniss) doesn’t see what an absolute nightmare he would be for her to deal with if she left katniss in that arena

Like she thinks katniss was hard to deal with/manipulate/control after she left peeta behind? Peeta would’ve had her whole district eating out to the palm of his hand before she even realized who she was dealing with. She thought katniss was too single minded/stubborn about her focus on saving peeta over the revolution itself? He would have been her absolute nightmare (and I adore him for it)

And the best part is it would be genuinely better for the Rebellion while being worse for Coin. A Trackerjacked Peeta was a compelling propagandist for the Capitol. As the Mockingjay no one is going to believe Katniss wasn't coerced, and she's just a captive martyr. Meanwhile Peeta is free to spin the diplomatic wheels to get people on board. Peeta was an invaluable asset to the Rebellion when he didn't even know it existed. His propos would be masterful. And his martyr complex means he'd happily take on the role to spare Katniss the attention.

Meanwhile Coin, who never had the human touch, is panicking because she's winning but losing control of the situation.

“What would my life be like on a daily basis? Most of it has been consumed with the acquisition of food. Take that away and I'm not really sure who I am, what my identity is.” (thg 378)

I love this quote. That Katniss was so consumed with keeping her and her family alive that she doesn't really know who she is or what she likes. She was forced into the role of provider from the age of 11, she had to put her sister and mother first, and repress her own feelings. It wouldn't help that all the people around her also only know her as the brave girl who hunts illegally to survive.

Once she's victor though, food isn't a problem for her anymore, and I feel like she learns a lot about herself. Something that comes to mind is when she tries on Cinna's dresses, and she's surprised that she actually really likes them because she's never been able to afford pretty dresses, or even think about them. How she spends hours questioning her feelings for Peeta because she'd sworn off love since a young age for multiple reasons; she assumes love=marriage=children, and how she cant have children as they'd fall the same fate as her, or how she cant love someone just to lose them in the end and become like her mother. I love Katniss so much.

I also feel like this quote really ties in with the other one.

“Gale, I can’t think about anyone that way now. All I can think about, everyday, every waking minute since they drew Prim’s name at the reaping, is how afraid I am. And there doesn’t seem to be room for anything else. If we could get somewhere safe, maybe I could be different. I don’t know.” (cf 118)
