“I feel simultaneously intensely insignificant and hyperaware of how important everyone is.”
“I find it so bizarre that I occupy space, and that I am seen by other people.”
“Everything matters so much and so little; it is disgusting.”
“Of course I’m a fraud. The fact that I’m able to carry myself through life without being crushed beneath the psychological weight of being alive proves that I’m a con artist. Aren’t we all con artists?”
“I came to the realization that every moment exists in perpetuity regardless of whether it’s remembered. What has happened has happened; it occupies that moment in time forever. I was an eleven-year-old girl lying in the grass one summer. I knew in that moment that was true and recognized that I would blaze through moments for the rest of my life, forgetting things, and becoming ages older, until I forgot everything—so I consoled myself by committing to remember that one moment.”
This book is so insanely quotable and relatable for me. This is an all time favorite. Like, just read it and you will understand what it feels like to be inside the head of a neurodivergent person.
