“But dammit, she was tired. Tired of doing what was expected, tired of feeling like she was missing something.”
“She didn't want to have anything to do with the party. She was tired of feeling like she didn't fit in, but she didn't want to go home, either, because she was a tired of being lonely and she was a little drunk.”
“She got tired of herself. She got tired of not being able to say what she wanted or do what she wanted or even want what she wanted.”
“But even in her laughter there was something missing. She never seemed to be truly happy; she just seemed to be passing time while she waited for something else. She was tired of just existing; she wanted to live.”
“Already she feels jaded. Weary, and gladly tired and old.”
“I am tired of hiding, tired of misspent and knotted energies, tired of the hypocrisy, and tired of acting as though I have something to hide.”
