The ego hurts you like this: you become obsessed with the one person who does not love you. blind to the rest who do.

Two people who were once very close can without blame or grand betrayal become strangers. Perhaps this is the saddest thing in the world.

I tore up and ate my own passport in an airport hotel once. I'm bloated with language I can’t afford to forget.

I know a few things to be true. I do not know where I am going, where I have come from is disappearing, I am unwelcome and my beauty is not beauty here. My body is burning with the shame of not belonging, my body is longing.

Make peace with your body, it's not manmade, there are no flaws, there are no mistakes.

There is no intimacy like that between two women who have chosen to be sisters.
