People aren’t like numbers—they aren’t predictable. People lie. People pretend. People don’t always make much sense.

time makes you forget the things that never mattered. However, when things are serious—traumatic, maybe—time has a way of painting unforgettable images into your memory. Trauma is like cement; time only makes it more solid. Sometimes you can fool yourself into thinking you’re “over” something. Then you catch yourself saying things, doing things, avoiding things, realizing you never truly got over anything. You just set new boundaries so that the same thing couldn’t happen to you twice.

Shoes have never pulled me to the side and said, ‘Look, it’s either me, or your socks. Choose.’
In life, there are certain things that you just need. I needed food to eat. I needed air to breathe. I needed water to drink. And I needed Caprice.
“that’s not how love works. And second, even if that was how love worked, you would still deserve it. You would still deserve mine.”
Love is a powerful thing to get to experience. Love keeps your body warm when the September night air breezes past your skin. Love is like no other emotion. Unmatched in every aspect. You don’t know what it truly means to be real until you’ve been in love.
“But that’s the thing, Caprice… I never wanna make you feel bad about anything. It’ll do me no good. ‘Cause when you feel bad…” A single tear rolled down his cheek. “…I feel bad with you.”
With him, I was open. I was free. I was safe.
