... I love books about freaks," because I am one. You might be, too. Let's be freaks together?
David Levithanexemplar, n. It's always something we have to negotiate- the face that my parents are happy, and yours have never been. I have something to live up to, and if I fail, I still have a family to welcome me home. You have a storyline to rewrite, and a lack of faith that it can ever be done. You love my parents, I know. But you never get too close. You never truly believe there aren't bad secrets underneath.
David LevithanThere has to be a moment at the beginning where you wonder whether youโre in love with the person or in love with the feeling of love itself. If the moment doesnโt pass, thatโs itโyouโre done. And if the moment does pass, it never goes that far. It stands in the distance, ready for whenever you want it back. Sometimes itโs even there when you thought you were searching for something else, like an escape route, or your loversโ face.
