“I might not be ready to pour out my feelings to the world, but I’d had enough of trying to ignore them.”

“sometimes words are not big enough to contain all the feelings you are trying to pour into them.”

“I kept thinking back to all those nights in Connecticut, when I was out the door as soon as dinner was over, yelling my plans behind me as I headed to my car, ready for my real night to begin—my time with my family just something to get through as quickly as possible.

“The world demands I make good choices on no information, and then blames my maidenhood for my mistakes, as if my maidenhood were responsible for my ignorance. Ignorance is not stupidity, but it might as well be. And I do not like feeling stupid.”

“Maybe everyone out there is a liar. And maybe the whole world is stupid and ignorant, but I’d rather be in it. I’d rather be fucking in it.”

“I moaned like a whore in church.To be fair, I’d never actually heard a whore moan in church, but I had a feeling it sounded a lot like the unholy sounds pouring forth from my mouth.”
