Carmen Maria Machado, In the Dream House

I remember the first time I started to feel the sun on my skin again, I remember looking up to the sky and feeling warmth. I learnt to appreciate my body and the way it carried me through all of this. I remember not wanting to die anymore and I remember that so vividly. I don’t want to die anymore so I live more, I keep on living, everyday I keep on living. Warmth on my skin, cold breeze on my face, toes in the cold winter water. I can feel again. I can feel again. I thought I would be numb for the rest of my life but I can finally feel again.

“This reminded me of you” is such a tender sentence. Oh to have impacted someone so much that they find bits of your soul and hold the memory of you in things and places when you're not around.”

rules for interacting with strangers:

assume people are trying their best until proven otherwise

assume people are being genuine until proven otherwise

how they define themselves does not impact your life. let it go

if they’re getting on your nerves, remind yourself that you never have to interact with them again

they don’t need to know your whole life story

you don’t know their whole life story (so be kind!)

“Soon you’ll realize that many people will love the idea of you but will lack the maturity to handle the reality of you.”
