“My first.
My guard.
My friend.
My betrayer.
My partner.
My husband.
My heartmate.
My everything.

“I’d found my person.
She was the foundation. She was the thing that all other things are built on. Everything was secondary to being with her. It didn’t matter where I worked or if I liked my job, where I lived or how many kids I had. My happiness, my sanity, my well-being – it all started with her. And now that I knew that, I didn’t want to just be her boyfriend – I wanted everything.”
― Abby Jimenez, The Friend Zone

“It felt like the world had divided into two different types of people, those who had felt pain and those who had yet to.”
― Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart

“It’s just that you’re perfect, and my heart hurts.”
