    “When we reached the door, Belen stepped in the way. 'If any harm—'
    'Comes to her, you’ll rip out my arms. Got it,' Kerrick said.
    'I’m serious,' Belen said.
    'I know. Do you really think I’d put her in danger?'
    'Not on purpose, but things happen that are out of your control.'
    Kerrick gave him a tight smile. 'You mean I'm not omnipotent?'
    'You're not even semi-potent.'
    'Is that even a word?' Kerrick asked.
    'He probably means you're impotent,' I offered.”

    “Let's go. We're supposed to rendezvous with the Captain at the lake. Oh, and try to keep the noise down. You sound like a panicked moose crashing through the woods," the smarter man chided.

    "Oh yeah. Like you could hear me over your specially trained 'woodland-animal footsteps,'" Rough Voice countered. "It was like listening to two deer humping each other.”

    “So who gave him his name?" I asked.

    "Kerrick," Belen answered.

    Not who I'd expect. "Why 'Flea'?"

    A full-out grin spread across Flea's face. "Cause I'm fast and hard to catch."

    "Because he's a pest and hard to squash," Belen said.

    "Because he jumps about three feet in the air when you scare him," Loren added.

    "Because he's annoying and makes us itch with impatience," Quain said.

    "Thanks, guys. I love you too." Flea made exaggerated kissing noises and patted his ass.”

    “And you are worth the time it takes to take the time to get to know you. We've managed to muttle through the awkward stage of i like you and you like me, but when we both finally said 'yes' life became a multiple choice test, not knowing anything we became each others best guess. and, holding your hand is less like exploration and more like discovery. lady, i don't have to study you to be sure. you're the choice i made before i knew what the other choices were”

    “I sit before flowers
    hoping they will train me in the art
    of opening up

    I stand on mountain tops believing
    that avalanches will teach me to let go

    I know
    nothing

    but I am here to learn.”
    Shane Koyczan

    “And as for romance? Well, I want that too.
    I want to fall asleep next to you, 100 times a night,
    so I can know you 100 times better before we hit the day light. And despite all of this,
    I also want amnesia so I can relive each kiss with a perfect newness
    that leaves me smashed in the arms of rapture. I want the sky to fracture under
    the impossible weight of an apology because I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I want so much.
    I'm sorry that I'm using "I'm sorry" as a crutch to lean on for so long
    but if you sing me that song of sweet logic again then I promise to make the effort
    to stand on my own. There is a reason that our hearts are more like a muscle
    and less like a bone. I've known so many people who've have grown up flexing
    in front of mirrors and falling for their own reflection as if that's adequate but that's bullshit.
    Because we only get now until the time we go and if they've only got time to love themselves
    then nobody is going to be around to hear the sound of their heartbeat echo.
    So lady, don't expect an apology when I tell you I'm only held together
    by a heart that pumps blue, it's the strongest muscle in my body and I'm flexing it for you”

    “but I want to tell them
    that all of this shit
    is just debris
    leftover when we finally decide to smash all the things we thought
    we used to be
    and if you can’t see anything beautiful about yourself
    get a better mirror
    look a little closer
    stare a little longer
    because there’s something inside you
    that made you keep trying
    despite everyone who told you to quit
    you built a cast around your broken heart
    and signed it yourself
    you signed it
    “they were wrong”
    because maybe you didn’t belong to a group or a click
    maybe they decided to pick you last for basketball or everything
    maybe you used to bring bruises and broken teeth
    to show and tell but never told
    because how can you hold your ground
    if everyone around you wants to bury you beneath it
    you have to believe that they were wrong

    they have to be wrong”

    “We grew up learning to cheer on the underdog because we see ourselves in them.”
    Shane Koyczan

    Shane L. Koyczan
    “I’m not the only kid
    who grew up this way
    surrounded by people who used to say
    that rhyme about sticks and stones
    as if broken bones
    hurt more than the names we got called
    and we got called them all
    so we grew up believing no one
    would ever fall in love with us
    that we’d be lonely forever
    that we’d never meet someone
    to make us feel like the sun
    was something they built for us
    in their tool shed
    so broken heart strings bled the blues
    as we tried to empty ourselves
    so we would feel nothing
    don’t tell me that hurts less than a broken bone
    that an ingrown life
    is something surgeons can cut away
    that there’s no way for it to metastasize

    it does”
