Quotes

Eugeniahas quotedlast year
A truth
you did not want
to know
can rot & grow mold
in the pit
of your stomach,
can sour
every taste
you’ve ever had,
can cast a stench
so bad you forget
you’ve ever known
a sweet thing.
Ximena Ahuactzin Floreshas quoted2 years ago
When your body takes up more room than your voice
you are always the target of well-aimed rumors
Ximena Ahuactzin Floreshas quoted2 years ago
But I don’t know how to tell Mami that this year,

it’s not about feeling unready,

it’s about knowing that this doubt has already been confirmed.
