“It feels like there are some people—me and you—that no matter what, we’re always gonna be on the outside. Even if we do everything right, we’re always going to feel wrong. And it becomes this self-fulfilling prophecy. We feel so lonely and then we make ourselves unreachable. We realize we’ll never be enough. We’ll never be everything for everyone. Or we’ll never be the right person for our right person. So . . . so, you just said fuck it. And I guess I did, too.”
