But I can now understand why people read, why they like to get lost in somebody else’s life. Sometimes i’ll read a sentence and it will make me sit up, jolt me, because it is something that I have recently felt but never said out loud.

And then the lunch bell rings, the book closes, and i’m plunged back into reality.
The young women in all the ya books I loved were high-school age. By eighteen, the majority of them had saved the world, not to mention: kissed people, traveled, been in a relationship, had sex.

It sounds like a joke now, but at the time, around all these people my age casually discussing all of the above, I felt so small.

As the divine tongue, I came here not only to perform my duties as a taster… But also to meet with various authority figures and key members of the culinary industry. Someday, I will shoulder both the nakiri family as well as japan’s culinary world. It was imperative that I be shown off so as to impress upon the right people that I was a person to be respected and followed.
it was simply a business transaction, one meant to further nakiri interests. Whenever I left the nakiri mansion, it was always for some official business like that.
looking back on it now… I think that the young me was so used to being led around that she never tried to look at things for herself.”
“that can’t be right. Um… As the daughter of the mito group… I got to officially meet with you a time or two when we were both kids. Even back then, I thought you were amazing, miss erina. A-as another kid from a big business family… I know what you’re going through.”
“mito?”
“um! n-not to imply that my family is anywhere near as important as the nakiris! and i’d never do anything so rude and disrespectful as imply that the two of us are in any way equal!

Would I show my body off if I was thinner? Probably not, because my body is mine. I think I remind everyone of themselves. I’m not saying everyone is my size, but it’s relatable because I’m not perfect, and I think a lot of people are portrayed as perfect, unreachable and untouchable.

What would you do if you only had one day left in this world? spend it with the people you love? travel to the far corners of the earth to see as many wonders as possible? eat nothing but chocolate? would you apologize for all your mistakes? would you stand up to those you’d never had the courage to face? would you tell your secret crush that you loved him or her? why is it that we wait till the last minute to do the things we should be doing all along?.

What is “this drive”? It’s the tendency to not simply accept things as they are but to want to think about them, to understand them.

I call this tendency the intellectual.

For once, i’m going to know how it feels to be beautiful – just like normal girls.

Lily had lived with the same pain for so long it felt like a part of her. The worst days, though, were when the pain was different. When it came faster, or harsher, or fiercer than she was used to. When it prickled instead of throbbed. When it attacked her right ankle instead of her left knee. When it woke her up at night instead of aching dully first thing in the morning. On those days, her standard-issue pain was replaced by something different and frightening, something that took over her body and left her without the slightest clue of when, or even if, it would release her.
those times, her pain wasn’t a part of her anymore. Those times, she was a part of it.
It’s always better to leave the party early.
So, I keep thinking about the idea of secret identities. Do you ever feel locked into yourself? i’m not sure if i’m making sense here. I guess what I mean is that sometimes it seems like everyone knows who I am except me.

The funniest novel you’ve never read. . . . Afternoon Men is a revelation to sophisticated readers of every stripe, but especially to a certain kind of artist manqu on the brink of discovering that life is a more difficult business than he ever had reason to expect. . . .

Maybe i’d always been broken and dark inside.
I get that racism exists, but it’s not a catalyst for my content. I don’t need to talk about race to have material. My style of comedy is more self-deprecating. I think that makes me more relatable. When you deal with ‘topics’ – race, white versus black – you’re not separating from the pack. You’re doing what everybody else is doing.
For years I’ve wanted to live according to everyone else’s morals. I’ve forced myself to live like everyone else, to look like everyone else. I said what was necessary to join together, even when I felt separate. And after all of this, catastrophe came. Now I wander amid the debris, I am lawless, torn to pieces, alone and accepting to be so, resigned to my singularity and to my infirmities. And I must rebuild a truth-after having lived all my life in a sort of lie.
