You mistook my sadness for weakness.
“Then I, alone, and relieved to be alone, perhaps went to a movie, or walked, or returned home and read, or sat in a park and read, or sat on a cafe terrace, or talked to people, or wrote letters… And no matter what I was doing, another me sat in my belly, absolutely cold with terror over the question of my life.”
— James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room
