"She imagined seeing herself as just another brilliant freak of nature. Just another sentient animal, trying their best. "
On this weeks Topic Tuesday Meredith picks a quote from page 143 of The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.
“She imagined, now, what I would be like to accept herself completely. Every mistake she had ever made. Every mark on her body. Every dream she hadn’t reached or pain she had felt. Every lust or longing she had suppressed.
She imagined accepting it all. The way she accepted nature. The way she accepted a glacier or a puffin or the breach of a whale.
She imagined seeing herself as just another brilliant freak of nature. Just another sentient animal, trying their best.
And in doing so, she imagined what it was like to be free.”
