"There's a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn't that kind of the point?"

Just survive. You know how to. You’ve been doing it all your life.

Have you ever found yourself in a room full of people, one where everyone seems to be shouting conversations except you, and you have somehow wound up leaning against the wall in a corner, staring at your shoes, thinking you would rather be anywhere but here in this room, and never felt more lonely in your entire life?

I don't fantasize about having the perfect life. I just think about waking up somewhere safe. I think about having a pretty kitchen and a nice green armchair. Books on shelves. Coffee always brewing. I could be happy with something simple and quiet.

For every sensation Regan could conjure, there was an artist who had beautifully suffered the same.

It sucks when people point out your insecurities. Like, yes Karen I know I have acne and yes, I tried washing my face.
