“Yeah, today's a good day," I say. "But it's better to not expect good days, 'cause then they're a nice surprise instead of everyone getting disappointed when I'm not having a good day. This isn't the usual.”

“I look out the window into the hallway and watch the people while he works. It's amazing how many stories are going on all at once in this one hospital. How small Sasha and I and our little coincidences really are, even just in this one building.”

“That's what really bothers me. How much shit have I put up with from my friends in the past few years because I know they think they're being nice when they're really being offensive and shitty and boring? It just took me a really long time to recognize that. I hadn't met an alternative.”

“I never know how you actually feel about anything because you're too busy overthinking everything to death," he says. "How do you feel? What do you actually want?”

“One thing no one ever told me about relationships - and it's honestly a good thing they didn't, because it sounds so stupid and overdramatic that I never would have believed it - is that desperate, deep sense of loss you get every time a kiss stops or he lets go of your hand. He'll still be right there, but the fact that I was just touching him and now I'm not makes me feel this gnawing at the bottom of my throat, every time. He pulls back from me, and it's like I'm watching it in slow motion, trying to will it not to happen, and I feel a bit of me pull away with him, like it's attached.
But then he touches me again, and I think, home.
I am allowing myself to think, home.
I'm doing this.”
