In the antiseptic world we try to purge ourselves of difficult things. Don't dwell on it, switch off the light and go home. But this is home. I have to be a home to myself. I am the place I come back to and I can't keep hiding difficult things in trunks. Soon the house will be full of trunks and I perched on top of them with the phone saying, Yes, I'm fine, of course, I'm fine, everything's fine. The trunks shudder. ✨ Jeanette Winterson (1995). Art & Lies: A Piece for Three Voices and a Bawd, Knopf
