Back in high school, I never understood how Amy could enjoy getting with guys just for the short haul. In a way, though, making out like this is more enjoyable because there’s no pressure for me to no...
When did you stop caring for me? Certainly not before Thanksgiving. You certainly wouldn‘t accept a blow job from someone if you were thinking about breaking up with her.
Ultimately, I have no power over what he or any boy thinks of me.
The more I hurt, the more I knew I loved, and that felt like a good thing. So that I'm letting go of the pain means I'm also letting go of the love.
That I don't feel upset by us really being over almost trivializes how special and intense our relationship once was.
I realize that I’m far less familiar with my own privates than with Guy’s, and I’ve seen his only twice! I guess that’s to be expected, since girls can’t really look at ourselves without a reflection,...

For me, at least, feeling something, even something bad, is better than feeling nothing.
Doing things for someone else is what I love most about relationships, even more than having stuff done for me.
Amy is so correct that a good personality can make a guy better-looking.
Pain was my tie to a past that a part of me wanted to hold on to. The more I hurt, the more I knew I loved, and that felt like a good thing.
Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.’
I can barely feel my arms now, and my shoulders are sore, but I take deep breaths and keep going. Every few seconds I alternate hands and lick them. Hand job is such a misnomer for this full-body rout...
