Yeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!

Where everyone else in my life was quick to tell me to shape up and try harder, Nora never did. She loved the man I was, and also realized she needed something different for herself and moved on without ever presenting me with a "you need to change to be with me" ultimatum.
And I've hazed her because of it.

I realize for the first time that her straight-to-the-point breakup was even merciful in a way. She saw we weren't compatible anymore—she needed to focus on school and study, and my personality rebelled against those things out of self-preservation.

Nora might have been the one who walked away from us, but I let her. I didn’t fight for her even once because I was afraid I genuinely wasn’t enough for her.

Don’t let her smile, fool you, she’s covered in yellow daisies, but she’s dangerous as hell.

“Wear this, you’ll look clucking irresistible “

“Nora wasn’t even miserable cooking. She hummed the entire time, and even talked to the ingredients like they were her friends – she was sorry to cook them, but they were dying for a noble cause.“

Dude is being ridiculous.

OK, take note on page 42. She tries to tell him. “I feel like we have some things we should talk about namely the way I broke up with you if you’re up for it I’d like to explain everything”

OK, make a note, on page 40 “until I tell him the full truth of our breakup. That it had very little to do with him and everything to do with me.”
