“There is no pleasure to be had in writing about trauma. It requires opening a wound, looking into the bloody gape of it, and cleaning it out, one word at a time. Only then might it be possible for that wound to heal.”

Roxane Gay has this ability to make me want to find the comfiest blanket, curl up in a cozy corner, and stage an epic dramatic cry session. The words took me on a wild ride, making me ponder the complexities of life—much like a therapeutic cry-fest!
