““There is something in us, as storytellers and as listeners to stories, that demands the redemptive act, that demands that what falls at least be offered the chance to be restored. The reader of today looks for this motion, and rightly so, but what he has forgotten is the cost of it. His sense of evil is diluted or lacking altogether, and so he has forgotten the price of restoration. When he reads a novel, he wants either his sense tormented or his spirits raised. He wants to be transported, instantly, either to mock damnation or a mock innocence.” - Flannery O’Connor”

Araesheon admits that before she knew God, she…

“

It’s everybody, I mean. Everything everybody does is so-I don’t know, not wrong, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and-sad making. And the worst part is if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you’re conforming just as much as everyone else, only in a different way.

She stopped.

I’m sick of it. I’m sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody. I’m sick of myself and everyone else that wants to make some kind of splash.
