“Like any unloved thing, I don’t know if I’m real when I’m not being touched.”
— Natalie Wee, from “Lonely,” Our Bodies & Other Fine Machines (AMAZON / GOODREADS)
“(…) and then there’s the silence that comes back, a million times bigger than me, sneaks into my bones and wails and wails and wails until I can’t be quiet anymore.”
— Bright Dead Things; The Quiet Machine, Ada Limón (via briannaswriter)
