Quotes by Abbey Mei Otis  (?)

“You go around for a long time carrying the minutiae of yourself in your own two hands, and it's not so bad, not even that heavy. It's just a thing you have to do. And then every so often a person shows up and opens their arms like the clean empty surface of a table, and suddenly your hands feel unbearably full, and you know what was true isn't true anymore, you couldn't for another instant continue bearing so many stories on your own.”
Abbey Mei Otis, Alien Virus Love Disaster
