Just because one person's problem is less traumatic than another's doesn't mean they're required to hurt less

You're like a philosopher with tattoos.

But as I stood there dressed in a cute black pants suit and white button-up shirt and heels, I felt completely out of place. Not necessarily because of the clothes, but…I just don’t belong there. I can’t put my finger on it, but that Monday and the rest of that week when I woke up, got dressed and walked into that store, something was itching the back part of my consciousness. I couldn’t hear the actual words, but it felt like: This is your life, Camryn Bennett. This is your life.

His face spreads into a warm smile. “As a matter of fact, no, I have never slept under the stars – are you gettin’ all romantic on me, Camryn Bennett?” He looks at me with a playful sideward stare.

What you wear doesn't really matter much. All that matters is where you're going what you're doing while you're wearing it.

I could die in this bed with him right now, wrapped in his arms and I would never know that I had died.

A bus ride is like being in another world.
