“When I first found out that I had cancer, I hated myself because I wasted so much of my healthy years accepting what I didn’t deserve. Chasing and giving my all to someone who couldn’t and wouldn’t do the same. I promised myself if I fought hard and overcame it, I would put me first. I love you, Quasim, but I love me more. I owe it to myself to see where this can go with Zay. Allow him to love me.”
