#20. Today, I slept in until 10,
Cleaned every dish I own,
Fought with the bank,
Took care of paperwork.
You and I might have different definitions of adulthood.
I don't work for salary, I didn't graduate from college,
But I don't speak for others anymore,
And I don't regret anything I can't genuinely apologize for.
And my mother is proud of me.
I burnt down a house of depression,
I painted over murals of greyscale,
And it was hard to rewrite my life into one I wanted to live
But today, I want to live.
I didn't salivate over sharp knives,
Or envy the boy who tossed himself off the Brooklyn bridge.
I just cleaned my bathroom,
did the laundry,
called my brother.
Told him, "it was a good day. #Quote by Kait Rokowski

He wasn't rattled by her; he had decided she was going to be a nuisance, and she caught on at once that he was bent on giving her the shove-ho. She was an experienced woman, rough from being so much on the losing side and from having knocked around from town to town, Washington to Brooklyn to Detroit, with what other stops you'd never know, getting gold teeth here and a slash in the cheek there. But she was an independent and never appealed for any sympathy; was never offered any either. #Quote by Saul Bellow

#25. When I used to say I wanted to be anywhere but Brooklyn, I maybe didn't mean it this literally. And, I suddenly understand, I do want to be Vassa--or technically I want to make Vassa into somebody worth being. The only way to become that somebody is to live in a real, substantial world: a world that doesn't follow orders, that's just as willful and independent as I'm going to be. I can only become a whole girl in a place that offers resistance; a place that makes me fight for what I want. #Quote by Sarah Porter

#32. The sky was so blue.
It's only been five years.
My skyline was never marked with an absence.
Remember that wine school? Windows on the World?
I had been underneath them, on the F train coming from Brooklyn just one hour before.
I was late for high school but glued to the TV.
I had taught a class there - on Rioja - on the night of September tenth.
Chef made soup.
So I heard something and looked out my window - you know I'm on the East Side.
It was too low. But it was steady and went by almost in slow motion.
The Owner set up a soup kitchen on the sidewalk.
No, I haven't been down there.
The smoke.
The dust.
But the sky was so blue.
My buddy was the somm at the restaurant - we came up at Tavern on the Green together.
You guys never talk about it.
I was going into a class called, I'm not joking, Meanings of Death.
I always wondered: If I had been here, would I have stayed?
And I thought, New York is so far away.
My cousin was a firefighter, second-wave responder.
Nothing on television is real.
But am I safe?
Because what else is there to do but make soup?
But I really can't imagine it.
I was pouring milk into my cereal, I looked down for one second…
I was asleep, I didn't even feel the impact.
A tide of people moving up the avenues on foot.
Blackness.
Sometimes it still feels too soon.
It's our shared map of the city.
Then #Quote by Stephanie Danler
