“There is a curious comfort in letting go. After the agony, letting go brings numbness, and after the numbness, clarity. As if I can see the world for the first time, and my place in it, independent of you, a whole vista of what may be. Even if it is not grand or inspiring, it is real and solid, unlike the fantasy I've built around you. I will do this. I will triumph over you.” IfsWorldFirstsMayI CanRealWholeFantasyComfortLetting GoFirst TimeBuiltIndependentClarityCuriousTriumphOver YouAgonyNumbnessVistas Author:Julie Berry
“I can imagine nothing more wonderful than always wanting to keep a man. It's this NOT wanting to keep them, and yet not quite being able to disentangle one's self, never quite having the ruthlessness to stike at the hands on the gunwale with an oar until they let go - that's the horrible thing.” MenI CanSelfHandsAbleImagineWonderfulLetting GoHorribleNever QuitHorrible ThingsOarRuthlessness Author:Rose Wilder Lane
