About This Quote
She's a girl who doesn't know knolwedge why shes a girl. But shes a girl who does know what its like to be a girl. And she knows its not something that can be understood. She knows that there is no good reason you should fall from grace because if you did then youd be alone.
Its been said that the only thing worse than being alone is thinking that its not gonna end well. She believes that God's work isn't done by god. Its done by people and in her case it's her parents and in her darkest hour she learns the spaces she leave have their own things to say and when she's trying to sing just enough so that the air around her move and make music like mercy that gives what it is and has nothing to prove she crawls out on a limb and begins to build her home and it's enough just to look around and to know that she's not alone.
