Waar ik liever niet aan denk by Jente Posthuma
5.0

“I didn’t understand that what is comforting to one person can stifle another.”⁣

“To be a natural presence, you shouldn’t take up too much space, which I always found easy at the beginning of friendship. It felt nice to reshape myself into precisely the right format until the moment came, usually once I’d shrunk to my minimum size, when I got moody. […] it wasn’t fair to pretend I was something other than who I really was, to keep shapshifting like some kind of Barbapapa. I’m either too much or too little. I’m terrible at dispensing the right dose of myself.”⁣
