Quote by Liz Moore

“Suddenly she was blinking hard. To cry now would be catastrophic—and yet the disappointment of it all weighed heavily on her shoulders. Because there was always a part of her—despite her understanding, cultivated over years of such disappointments, of where she would fall in any social hierarchy—there was always a part of her that hoped that this time would be different. That some graceful, lissome boy or girl would have the patience and acuity to pick Tracy out of a crowd, take notice of one of the positive qualities that she infrequently allowed herself to number: her sense of humor, or her drawing ability, or her singing voice, or her loyalty, her devotion to anyone who showed her even a modicum of interest.”

“If you develop many strong enthusiasms that never seem to last – about a new hobby or career, the possibility of living in a different city or country, buying the latest iPhone – idealization may be at work, especially if the ensuing degree of disappointment is equally intense. If you often find yourself thinking something like Everything could be great if only such-and-such would happen, then you have idealized that future event.”
