Just finished the intro. She was quoting one of the letters and it said “please burn this once you read it” and now it’s in this book. This book is kinda fucked up but I can’t stop. Am I a bad person. One of my studio mates dropped out so I’m getting more space soon. Bless up

“Listen, love, it's not like being in a relationship with someone younger than myself although you are-it's like being in a relationship with a beloved part of my own self.”

“Prose is a trip and a half. It's really weird to think in terms of expanding words and thoughts instead of honing everything down to gleaming.”
