“When girls walk home we put on lippy and makeup. We chat. Sometimes we pretend to be hunchbacks. But that is it. Perfectly normal behavior.”
“we could hurt each other even when we weren't trying to, and that none of us was as perfect as we liked to pretend.”
“We all pretend things sometimes. And sometimes we leave thing too late.”
“When we choose to live authentically we chip away at others prisons of pretend and create an opportunity for them to walk out of darkness into freedom.”
“For we did makeup. But we didn't forgive each other. And we didn't take steps. And it got to be too late and we saw that each of us had invested too much in being in the right and we walked away and it was a relief. ”
“If they don't walk away, we have to walk away, and sometimes we do it crying.”
