pink books of February 🎀📚💕
Out of my comfort zone but worth it! Visualizing this world was an exercise for my imagination 🌋 Understanding the themes explored in this series, however, was not. The landscape was different, but the story is one we know too well. What it means to be human and the very intentional function of dehumanization. Our responsibilities to each other and to society. The impact of our choices. Our reckoning. I come back to this book often💭
“But here‘s the kingdom we call remembrance
with its thousand iron doors
through which I pass so easily,
switching on the old lights as I go-
while the dead wind rises and the old rapture rewinds,
the stiff waters once more begin to kick and flow”.
“After excitement we are so restful. When the thumb of fear lifts, we are so alive”.

every time I finished reading a page or passage I wanted to go back and re-read it again and again ☄️
“I understand now that no one else in the world knows what I should do... Because no one has ever lived or will ever live this life I am attempting to live, with my gifts and challenges and past and people... This life is mine alone. So I have stopped asking people for directions to places they‘ve never been. There is no map. We are all pioneers”.
"I was sure the building stood for all matters having to do with that four-chambered, fist-shaped muscle we carry- that carries us-with constancy. That beats-did you know?-more than one hundred thousand times a day".
"Tell a woman she is beautiful, and she might- it's very possible- feel like a fool. Roses die quick. They will do.
The girl you want does not exist.
The girl you want does exist.
But not like that. And not like that. Or like that. Or like that.
She is sitting across from you, looking just beyond you- at herself".
"Even when I was nothing, I was arriving"
look what arrived today :)
