The words get easier the moment you stop fearing them.

I spent my life folded between the pages of books. In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters.

I'm wondering how many more mistakes I'll have to make before things finally fall into place. If they ever will.

I love walking into a bookstore. It's like all my friends are sitting on shelves, waving their pages at me.

I love you exactly as you are.

I tuck caution into my pocket and hope I can reach for it if I need to.

Friendship is not a thing I have ever experienced. Not as a child, and not as I am now.
