    Sarah Henstra
    “I am jealous. I’m envious of the easy options all the rest of you enjoy. To date someone or not to date someone? Does she like him? Does he like her?

I might be permitted to admire someone from afar, to harbor a yearning in secret, but to act on it would cost me everything.”
