Quote by Avery Carter

“She frowned down at what was left of her skirt before gathering the silvery fabric in her fists and tugging. The shreds of fabric tore away as she did, dissipating into the growing rose of the dawn. Clem let out a sudden, delighted laugh, making Sera jump.”

“Hice lo que pude con las herramientas que tenía en mis manos en ese momento. Y mis decisiones recientes, aunque tardías, me están empujando un poco más hacia la vida que siempre he soñado tener, pero que creía imposible: una donde no tengo que fragmentar mi identidad en partes. Y aunque eso me cueste algunas personas en el camino, otras se quedarán. Y eso está bien.”

“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.”
