Now, I don't believe in doing hugs halfway. I can't stand people who try to hug without touching. A hug should be a full embrace - as I wrap my arms around Tony, I am not just holding him, but also trying to lift off his troubles for a moment so that the only thing he can feel is my presence, my support.

the world loves stupid labels. i wish we got to choose our own.

We gather the things we learned, and they don't nearly add up to fill the space of a life. You will miss the taste of Froot Loops. You will miss the sound of traffic. You will miss your back against his. You will miss him stealing the sheets. Do not ignore these things.

He’ll have to prove it to you. Every day, he’ll have to prove he’s worthy of you. And if he doesn’t, that’s it. But I think he will.

But I want to feel like life matters. I had something real with you, but then the realness scared me. I decided to go for other things instead.

It's the way you say thank you like you're genuinely thankful. I have never met anyone else who does that on a regular basis.

I am here because of love.
