You look like you're twelve. No. Maybe thirteen, but my sister has this doll that kinda reminds me of you. All big-eyed and vacant.

In "Obsidian," Jennifer L. Armentrout presents a scene where one character describes another in a rather demeaning way. The character's comment, suggesting that the other looks very young—like a doll with large, empty eyes—implies a lack of maturity and emotional depth. This comparison paints a picture of innocence or naivety, hinting that the person being addressed may not be taken seriously or could be underestimated. This exchange highlights the themes of perception and judgment based on appearance. The use of the doll metaphor emphasizes the notion of superficiality and how first impressions often influence interpersonal dynamics. Overall, the dialogue serves to develop character relationships and introduce underlying tensions in the storyline.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.

I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
