reflective

“What the hell am I going to to with my life? Tell me what to do?…it’s always hard no matter who you are, where you came from, what color your skin happens to be or what sex you got stuck with. It’s the hardest decision every individual has to make in their life,probably.”

- and what a privilege to think about that anew every day. 

Reminds me of a quote I recently read 
“better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room” 

I liked this for what it was, and it’s good to read my lesbian classics, but the prose was quite jarring, and the 2015 authors note was insufferable
