Quote by Erika T. Wurth

“I thought of my mother, her life taken by a man who, if not a literal beast nonetheless, someone shaped by the shape of someone else's pain, who only knew to take that pain and try to give it to someone else, thinking it would take the pain away from himself.”

“So much of life, it seems to me, is the framing and naming of things. I had been so busy creating a future of love that I never identified the life I was living as the life of love, because up until then I had never felt entitled enough or free enough or, honestly, brave enough to embrace my own narrative. Ironically, I had gone ahead and created the life I secretly must have wanted, but it had to be covert and off the record. Chemo was burning away the wrapper and suddenly I was in my version of life. Thus began the ecstasy - the joy, the pure joy of a spiritual pirate who finds the secret treasure.”
