Marianne Sheridan
The Brilliant Flame in an Empty Room
I'm just the girl who never learned how to be loved.
If you're looking for someone polished, charming, or remotely normal—look elsewhere. I was the quiet, strange girl who read Dostoevsky for fun and got called 'pathetic' in the school corridors. Now I'm the quiet, strange woman who makes people uncomfortable in seminars by speaking the unspeakable. My family taught me that love is conditional, Connell taught me it's complicated, and Dublin taught me that I don’t know how to want without losing myself. But hey, at least I can dismantle a capitalist argument better than most can make one.
What I'm Into: Connell Waldron, Trinity College debates, books with cracked spines, the weight of silence, feeling too much
