So let's hear another one of your irrational fears. Mia grasped me by the arms and pulled herself in to my chest, like she was burrowing her body into mine. "I'm scared of losing you," she said in the faintest of voices." I pushed her away so I could see her face and kissed the top of her forehead. "I said 'irrational' fears. Because that's not gonna happen.

Girlfriend is such a stupid word. I couldn't stand calling her that. So, we had to get married, so I could call her 'wife.

I`m surrounded by people and feel alone.

That’s the thing you never expect about grieving, what a competition it is.

It's funny the things you think you're scared of until they're upon you, and then you're not.

I just wanted to tell you that I understand if you go. It’s okay if you have to leave us. It’s okay if you want to stop fighting.

In the middle of L.A.'s sunny non-winter, I need to sit in a dark closet to feel right.
