Summer’s Reviews > After the Shut Up Ring > Status Update

“My guts seize. Please don’t let her say someone hurt her. Please, God. Let her dump me. Tell me she’s not really into me, that she’s not ready for something serious, fucking anything but someone hurt her.”

“I don’t want this to be over. For me, it never will be.”

“It’s a mess—this day, this situation, this life. It’s the one we’ve got, though.
It might all end in disaster and heartbreak. Lord knows it has before. But not tonight.”

“The seasons keep changing, and we’re still made of the same stuff we always were—heart and guts and muscle, fear and love and hope. Everything is a small thing next to this—we’re above ground, and it’s beautiful outside, and even if not everything is possible, we cannot possibly be sure what is and what isn’t until we try.”

“Love bleeds through me like spilled ink.”

“I am operating light-years beyond my capabilities as a man. I have no choice. I let go and let God. “I wish there was someone who looked at me like the girls to you,” I say. “I’d like to know what it feels like to matter like that.”

A man who is in touch with his feelings and actively trying to better himself???😭😭😭😭😭

“I want things to be new with him, not complicated and probably doomed”

“If she were mine, she wouldn’t be pulling doubles. She wouldn’t work unless she wanted to. I see all the things my mom does with the girls. Frankly, that’s more than enough work for one person.”

“I’m not brave enough for this thing I’ve done.”

“Well, I changed my mind,” I say louder.
I take it all back. Every I love you when I meant please don’t leave me. Every it’s okay when it wasn’t. Every I don’t mind, it doesn’t matter; don’t worry about it, it’s fine; it was good, really good, I liked it, I promise.”

FUCK IT UPPP!!!!!
