You spend so much time, so much effort, trying to hold yourself together. And then everything falls apart anyway.

I had always felt that mittens were a few steps back on the evolutionary scale-- why, I wondered, would we want to make ourselves into a less agile version of lobster.

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

When we’re alone together, I’m the destination. When I’m here in her life at school, I’m the disruption.

In small letters, someone has written NEVER FORGET on one of the slats. I know it's supposed to be a pledge, but it feels like a curse. Don't we have to forget some of it? Don't we have to forget this feeling? If we don't, how will we live?

Our lives change. Our feelings for each other change. Our bearings change. The song changes. The air changes. The temperature of the shower changes. Accept this. We must accept this.

Answerless questions can destroy you. Move on.
