Your scars are battle wounds, but you don’t see them that way.
You're so beautiful.
There's something uncontaminated about her, and I don't even mean sexually or whatever. I mean the way she is, at her core. Like when you wake up and the world has been blanketed by snow overnight, an...
The worst thing is to be alive for no reason.
No matter what grief or loss takes place, most of life flows on all around us, as though nothing's changed. At some point in our sorrow, we each make a choice to sink or swim. There's no alternative.
Love is not the absence of logicbut logic reexamined and recalculatedheated and curved to fit inside the contours of the heart.- Tammara Webber
Let me tell you girls a story, short and sweet. In high school, I was a junior varsity cheerleader dating a senior who was up for football scholarships. I'd slept with him several times willingly. One...
I’ve changed since I’ve known you. Not because you made me into someone else—but because you showed me a path I’d never paid attention to, and I chose to follow it.- Reid AlexanderWhen you finally fig...
I wish I could read her mind. She’s a pensive, deep-thinking girl, and it’s not unusual for her to stare into space, lost in her thoughts. Normally, I’m fascinated when she does this – the shifting em...
I thought about texting Lucas, but what would i say? That i'd tossed and turned all night, thinking of his hands on me?

You said you have faith in us. You told me to come to you when I was ready to be fearless. The truth is, I don’t know if I can be fearless. I’ve lost myself, Reid, and I’m still so scared.But I’m read...
You may be the only one who'll see through all my bullshit and help me try to be something more, something better.I stare at our intertwined hands. I don't want to help you try to be anything. I want...

Watching her made my heart ache, as if that organ had become linked to her emotional state, rather than targeting its primary task—keeping me alive.
She was the bad habit I’d never broken, because I didn’t fucking want to.
