“Things I Want Decided

Which shouldn't exist
in this world,
the one who forgets
or the one
who is forgotten?

Which is better,
to love
one who has died
or not to see
each other when you're alive?

Which is better,
the distant lover
you long for
or the one you see daily
without desire?

Which is the least unreliable
among fickle things —
the swift rapids,
a flowing river,
or this human world?”

“I looked past my bias against men.

Sometimes, men are just being curious and not rude.”

“Merely based on the fact that nobody questions periods, nobody talks about periods, it could be the perfect excuse to use in a pickle.”

“You see, to us, having a period was humiliating or exhilarating, instead of something that normally happened to every woman.”
