I didn`t say it didn`t feel good... They never tell you this part in sex ed, how to talk about what you did and why you did it and what you thought about it, before, during, and after.
I can be human to strangers and coworkers, just not to the people who actually care about me.
A know a place called New Beginnings, but I don't think it works quite like that. You can't just erase everything that came before.
You used to not give a damn about anything, but that was because you were brave, not cynical. You used to have so much courage.
We should just get a giant bottle of bargain vodka or something, Gil said, pushing his gorilla mask back on his head.Not classy, Steph said. This is a special night, not a frat party.Special? Classy??...
Remember that time we got snowed in at school? Everyone had to wait for their parents to get them, but our parents didn't come.God, I said, I'd forgotten. Why can't I remember any of this stuff withou...
Life was mostly made up of things you couldn’t control, full of surprises, and they weren’t always good. Life wasn’t what you made it. You were what life made you.
It's not words, so much, just my mind going blank and thoughts reaching up up up, me wishing I could climb through the ceiling and over the stars until I can find God, really see God, and know once an...
It's a jagged thing in my throat, how much I miss her.
I'm still going to love you, always. And in the rock-paper-scissors of life, love is rock. fear, anger, everthing else...no contest.
I'm remembering how this works. How life doesn't have to be only anxiety about what's gone wrong or could go worng, and complaints about the world around you. How a person you're excited about can rem...
I'm going to check on you in the night, he said. At random intervals of my choosing.I figured.
I understand that you can never have the whole picture; inevitably, there’s stuff you don’t know, can’t know. But when it comes to Cameron I always want more than I have, would like to be able to take...

I can't believe this crap. Jolly ranchers? Gummy worms? Katy rifled through the pile of candy she'd dumped onto Steph's floor. Where's the chocolate? Where's the candy corn?I Jolly Rangers, Steph sai...
His voice just shot through me. It’s amazing, the things your body will do just when you don’t want them to: heart speeding up, fingers aching. I’d always liked his voice, low and laid-back, the kind...
He said I didn't need to save him.But you want to.Yeah. But I can't. Right?Probably not. Usually not.
He crouched down next to me. I put my hand on the hem of his jeans. It was the first time I'd touched him since that day in the cafeteria line.I've got so much to tell you, he said, so quietly I almos...
