I have never looked into my sister's eyes. I have never bathed alone. I have never stood in the grass at night and raised my arms to the beguiling moon. Iβve never used an airplane bathroom. Or worn a hat. Or been kissed like that. Iβve never driven a car. Or slept through the night. Never a private talk. Or a solo walk. Iβve never climbed a tree. Or faded into a crowd. So many things Iβve never done, but oh, how Iβve been loved. And, if such things were to be, Iβd live a thousand lives as me, to be loved so exponentially. β¨ Lori Lansens (2009). The Girls, p.1, Vintage Canada
