From No Child of Mine:
“Dear Ana,
I wish I could send you the sounds from home. Bottle them up for you. So at night, when your house is too quiet, you could tiptoe out of bed and pull the bottle from some secret spot. Crack the lid, just the smallest sliver, and let whispered conversation and laughter slip out. Things are quieter here without you around.
Don’t forget that you belong to yourself. He does not know all your body’s secrets. Has he heard the soft pop in your shoulder when you stretch your arms over your head first thing in the morning? Has he memorized the way your nose wrinkles when you smile, genuinely smile, with three creases on the left and four on the right? Does he know how your lips swell and get softer when you cry? Do not give yourself over to him so that you lose your soft places to his hard edges. As long as you don’t forget that you belong to only yourself, he cannot possess all of you.” #booktok #bookquote
