| genuinely kept wondering if this was satirical. cannot believe the amount of people that made this book possible—an entire team and everyone let the constant “100 percent”s, shoe-horned Kardashian references, and racism just roll on through? | |

“you want to be loved if only to prove it possible: to tell the world that someone saw you as a conquest & came back alive. that above all else, you are worthy of the risk, the effort. you want someone to serve you the evidence: you are not as damned as you think you are. you are not as damned as you think you are.”

“i think i never arrived, so they stopped waiting.
i think a grief was stitched into me long before i was born.
i think there is more to life than being understood, but at night it hurts, illogically, like a star mourning its own existence.
i think i never had a chance.”

“You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you’ve done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired. You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for.”

“In a cement park across the street is this giant sculpture. It is a giant umbrella frame lying on its side. It's green. Stand under it, during a rainstorm, you'll still get wet - that's why it's art.”
