“‘evelyn, you are not capable of giving it up. and you never will be. and it will be the tragedy of my life that i cannot love you enough to make you mine. that you cannot be loved enough to be anyone’s.’” after the day i’ve had man. YOU REALLY DO FORGET HOW DEVASTATING THIS BOOK GETS WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF

“‘we all can’t go around treating people like dog shit and then expecting that a simple i’m sorry erases it.’” just remembered break up #2 is incoming someone please sedate me

“with her full head of hair and her round blue eyes, i thought, for a moment, she looked just like celia.” #MAGICPREGNANCYAU

“she looked into my eyes and made me feel rapture, and that night in giving of herself, she gave me a baby.” oh my shayla finally maturing kinda

“‘to evelyn,’ she said, lifting her glass in the air. ‘who has lit up every goddamn room she ever walked into. and who, day after day, makes us feel like we’re living in a dream.’”
this chapter was the part in which i decided i should marry a gay man and have a child with him instead of accepting i was gay & marrying a woman. omg this traumatic ass re-reading experience.

“and i started crying when i realized those men were willing to fight for a dream i had never even allowed myself to envision.” girl closes book

“you don’t spend years pining away for one voice not to notice it when it finally appears.” no and like must i reiterate that they had no contact for FIVE YEARSSSSSS

“‘but i don’t want to continue to have affairs my entire life. i want to be with someone i’m in love with. someone who’s in love with me.’”
IM GONNA BE SICKKKKK SHE WAS 25 BRO

“‘she doesn’t love him?’”
i do want to study this woman’s brain a bit btw like celia told her about 60 times she’s a lesbian and she’s still worried that she wants john braverman like i get the yearning but she was practically projectile vomiting at the thought of a man at any given moment

“here i was, just turned twenty-five, already realizing that no amount would ever really be enough.”
evelyn was 25 rolling in dough, had met the love of her life & was on husband number 4 damn the kardashians were right abt me i really don’t wanna get off my ass and work these days
