Sarah Dessen Quotes
Once This Had Been The Life I'd Wanted. Even Chosen. Now, Though, I Couldn't Believe That There Had Been A Time When This Kind Of Monotony And Silence, This Most Narrow Of Existences, Had Been Preferable. Then Again, Once, I'd Never Known Anything Else...
My Mother Had To Know I Was Unhappy. But It Didn't Matter: All She Cared About Was That I Was Her Macy Again, The One She'd Come To Depend On, Always Within Earshot Or Reach. I Came To Work Early, Sat Up Straight At My Desk And Endured The Monotony Of Answering Phones And Greeting Potential Homebuyers With A Smile On My Face. After Dinner, I Spent My Hour And A Half Of Free Time Alone, Doing Accepted Activities. When I Came Home Afterwards, My Mother W Ould Be Waiting For Me, Stickingher Head Out Of Her Office To Verify That, Yes. I Was Just Where I Was Supposed To Be. And I Was. I Was Also Miserable.
~Macy, Pg 306
