"Dark's nothing to be afraid of. In fact, I'd go as far as saying there's nothing to be afraid of. Anywhere.

The strongest person in the world is the person who isn't scared to be alone.

It's other people you got to worry about. Other people. They'll tell you what to do, how to feel...

Before you know it, you're pouring your life out in search of something other people told you to go look for.

Some day you're gonna be all alone. So you need to figure out how to take care of yourself." (The Queens Gambit S1:E5 "Fork")

Catch The Queens Gambit on Netflix.

It's absolutely brilliant and moving. A real surprise for a great series that refreshes the mind and heart.

Btw.... this is an effd up view that a mother told her young daughter that did great damage.

There is the key to this developing story that you can follow as she struggles to find the truth of herself, and about others in her world as well.
