Fierce Intimacy: Standing Up to One Another with Love

She's not sure how to convey her feelings
Afraid of rejection

The eagerness
She is falling
The anxiety floods in knowing she will soon see him
Her hands and legs tremble upon meeting him
She is so nervous
Just so nervous for him
She's not sure how to convey her feelings
Afraid of rejection
The uncertainty
The eagerness
She is falling

Nora wasn't asking him to make her over into someone else; all she wanted was to borrow a few books. Was he such an effete intellectual as to think that an exposure to literature could work some kind of marvelous transformation in her? And what if it could?

White Palace
The probation officer had given my input a single paragraph. She had taken my words but constructed her own sentences, shaving all context away. I just want him to get better, it said.

Know My Name
One of the greatest dangers of victimhood is the singling out; all of your attributes and anecdotes assigned blame. In court they'll try to make you believe you are unlike the others, you are different, an exception. You are dirtier, more stupid, more promiscuous. But it's a rick. The assault is never personal, the blaming is.

I don't know if he was right or wrong ... but I do know he meant to do more good than he meant to do harm. He wasn't always right. Sometimes when he touched he bruised. And sometimes when he took me in his arms he cut.

But it's difficult, when you've been through certain things, and people in your life don't necessarily believe you. Or they just don't want to know.

Margaret is reminded of the way she felt when she first met Ivan: as if life slipped free of its netting. As if the netting itself had all along been an illusion, nothing real. An idea, which could not contain or describe the borderless all-enveloping reality of life.
