1 " I’m haunted. We all are, I guess. We’re parentless, friendless, unloved, abandoned. The spirits of our deceased emotional anchors and proofs of existence will follow and demean us until we too roam a quiet lifeless world alongside them — unable to speak — our histories written in beach sand. "
― Jason S. Hornsby , Eleven Twenty-Three
2 " Nostalgia is powerful. It is natural, human to long for the past, particularly when we can remember our histories as better than they were. "
― Roxane Gay , Bad Feminist
3 " Eating connects us to our histories as much as it connects our souls to our bodies, our bodies to the earth. "
4 " Denial is our very real, personal response to our own trauma. But denial is the normative response to trauma—by everyone. Society may deny that anything bad ever happened to us. It may deny that DID exists. But that doesn't mean to say it's right. All it says is that like global warming, our histories and our stories are an " inconvenient truth" .͏ "
