Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Because I didn’t want other kids to suffer the way I did and still do sometimes. Not having control over the way your mind affects you is one of the worst feelings in the world.
You feel trapped and helpless. I wish I would’ve gotten into therapy the second my mom left, but mental health wasn’t really talked about with men, and I wanted to break that stigma and give kids access to the help they need. The help I needed but didn’t know how to ask for.”
“Mr. Zanders, I never took you for a two-pump chump.”
“Why’d you let me fall in love with you?” I call out from across the room as the tears begin to fall down my cheeks without permission. That causes Zanders to pause partway to the front door, his back to me. “You said I was your first choice, and I believed you.” Zanders’ back vibrates with a strangled breath before he quickly wipes his sleeve across his face and leaves my apartment.
