Same tbh. Bragging about being fast at reading is like bragging about being fast at sex

“The malaise given off by an awkwardness in the syntax.”
Verlyn Klinkenborg, Several Short Sentences About Writing

“The normal reasons. Like, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. It’s all the dumb clichés about how even when I’m mad at you I love you and how every day the best part of it is waking up next to you. And it kills me that this is all the normal, typical people-in-love stuff, because I want to believe our love is special—that it’s bigger and more interesting than any love that anyone else has had before—but the heartbreaking truth is my love for you is so consistent and predictable and boring.”
Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“Move across the country and hope the Sadness won’t find you, won’t follow you like a stray dog from coast to coast. Hope the Sadness isn’t just a fog on a leash, shadowing you always. Hope the Sadness can’t be as fleet as you are, hope the Sadness is more rooted. Perhaps the Sadness has friends, a family, and can’t just pick up and go. Look at all this stuff the Sadness has here in San Jose or Chapel Hill or wherever you’re currently leaving. How’s the Sadness going to survive without all this stuff? Hope this isn’t one of those any-place-I-hang-my-hat-is-home-type situations where the Sadness hangs its hat on you. Hope that you are not the Sadness’s home, anywhere you go, no matter how far, no matter how quickly—the Sadness lives in you. Hope to God it’s not that.”
Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“I fell in love with you a little bit, in that stupid way where you completely make up a fictional version of the person you’re looking at and fall in love with that person.”
Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“... in that way that you love something when you’re at a place in your life when you’re ready to love something and there’s a thing there that you can love.”
Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory
