My humanness had been the reason why I’d spent a lifetime dimming myself. For these people, it was the reason they burned brighter.

“See, Ace, I never thought I’d need to explain this to grown-ass men. But you and that one over there”—I nod to Lincoln. He crosses his arms and glares at me—“should know that most women nowadays don’t lead their lives based on the expectations of men. Maybe if you realized that, then you might walk around less surprised by our choices and more aware of yours.”
― Victoria Wilder, Bourbon & Secrets

“All of this time, we had kept our distance from one another. I suddenly realised that, at least for my part, it was purely out of fear of losing another person that I loved. I had fooled myself into thinking that if I didn’t allow myself to get close to him, I wouldn’t miss him if he left. Stupid, stupid woman. Intimacy is only one string on the bow. The instrument still plays the music.”

“Well.” She smiles softly over at me. “You were this beautiful book that I started to read in Switzerland but I got interrupted and felt like I didn’t get to finish the story.” She takes a sip of wine. “But I always had your page turned down in hope that one day I could pick it back up to see how it ended.”
― T.L. Swan, The Heart You Kept

“Maybe there is some part of me missing or broken that ensures I don’t feel things like a better man would, but I know the way I feel about you consumes me. That it gives me breath even as it steals the air from my lungs. Makes my heart beat even as it cuts it from my chest. What word I give it matters little. What matters is that even after my bones are dust and my name lost to history and history lost to time, I will feel this way for you.”
― Danielle L. Jensen, The Endless War
