“Most things will be okay eventually, but not everything will be. Sometimes you'll put up a good fight and lose. Sometimes you'll hold on really hard and realize there is no choice but to let go. Acceptance is a small, quiet room.”

“I'll never know, and neither will you, of the life you don't choose. We'll only know that whatever that sister life was, it was important and beautiful and not ours. It was the ghost ship that didn't carry us. There's nothing to do but salute it from the shore.”

“What if I forgave myself? I thought. What if I forgave myself even though I'd done something I shouldn't have? What if I was a liar and a cheat and there was no excuse for what I'd done other than because it was what I wanted and needed to do? What if I was sorry, but if I could go back in time I wouldn't do anything differently than I had done? What if I'd actually wanted to fuck every one of those men? What if heroin taught me something? What if yes was the right answer instead of no? What if what made me do all those things everyone thought I shouldn't have done was what also had got me here? What if I was never redeemed? What if I already was?”

Polls
Please nominate a book for the December 2024 - January 2025 Book of the "Month". I've written in a couple ideas, because a poll requires a minimum of 2 options, but what I really want it for you to use the write-in option to nominate your own book. Where it says Your Choice, write in the Title and Author of your suggested book. Then, next weekend, I'll create a separate poll to actually vote on nominees. If we don't get at least 5 nominations, ... I'll add books if needed until we get up to 5 options.
