Belonged Quote by Lucy Christopher
““You carried it in your hand like it was the most precious thing. It reminded me of what I used to be like, when I lived out here... It reminded me of finding something wild and knowing it was important somehow, to something.” You drew another circle over your knee, then filled it in with specks. “It made me realize where I belonged… not in a city park with cheap store-bought spirits, but out here in the land I knew, with the real ones.””
