What was wrong with me? I had a decent life. I was healthy. I wasn't starving or maimed by a land mine or orphaned. Yet somehow, it wasn't enough.

I felt like I had swallowed yeast, like whatever evil was festering inside me had doubled in size. β¨ Jodi Picoult (2012). The Jodi Picoult Collection #4: Change of Heart, Handle with Care, and House Rules, p.788, Simon and Schuster
