Love me less, but love me for a long time

It felt good to be surrounded by books, by all this solid knowledge, by these objects that could be ripped page by page but couldn't be torn if the pages all held together.

One of my best friends is named David Leventhal, and it has always been a constant source of amusement to see how the similarity and differences play out in our lives.

For I have never wanted a lover, but I have always wanted to love, and to be loved.

I text tiny a minute later. MADE NEW GAY FRIEND. And he texts back PROGRESS!!!

This is what love does: It makes you want to rewrite the world. It makes you want to choose the characters, build the scenery, guide the plot. The person you love sits across from you, and you want to do everything in your power to make it possible, endlessly possible. And when it’s just the two of you, alone in a room, you can pretend that this is how it is, this is how it will be.

That's what the voices in your head are for, to get you through the silent parts.
