I watch a woman rise from a bus stop bench, effortlessly. Her brain just tells her muscles to engage and up she goes. I can barely remember it being that way for me. Now every movement's a struggle."-Karol Ruth Silverstein, Cursed

"It dawns on me that this is probably the first time I've hugged my dad since he moved out, which just makes me hug harder, and suddenly there's so much I want to ask him - like: Wasn't there some way he and Mom could have worked it out and did he miss me before I came to live with him and does he still love me even though he hates Mom now? But I don't ask him any of that because if I did, then I'd definitely start crying and I may not be able to stop - ever. So I just keep hugging."-Karol Ruth Silverstein, Cursed
