Part of Your World (Part of Your World, #1)

These are the men we’re supposed to get a UTI for?

🤣

Women are three times more likely to have headaches than men.” Then she turned to me. “Must be nice to be a man. Our reproductive organs are like painful rusty gears that eventually stop working— if they even work at all. Enjoy your penis.”

🤣

The man was a perpetual erection around me. If the way I looked in the morning turned him off, his penis certainly didn’t get the memo.

🤣

“Dick pics are community property unless you’re staking a claim on the guy who owns it. You’ve got a little flag that you just planted on Daniel’s peen, it’s waving in the breeze and it says Ali on it.”

🤣

“You can see alllll my dick pics. Those boys throw ’em around like ‘And you get a penis, and you get a penis, and YOU get a penis!’

🤣🤣

Give up some of your fucks and see how much easier things are. You’re just spending all your time trying to please everyone else, and it’s making you miserable.”

It’s amazing how someone can touch you, even if you only know them for a moment in time. How they can change you, alter you indelibly.

Love follows you. It goes where you go. It doesn’t know about social divides or distance or common sense. It doesn’t even stop when the person you love dies. It does what it wants. Even if what you want is to not be in love.

my heart didn’t pound because it was in pieces in my chest and it didn’t work anymore.

The hole inside of me was so deep, it was all I was.

My parents had never loved me unconditionally. Never. So then why was I loving them that way? Why did they deserve that? Why did I think I had to sell my soul instead of them maybe learning to be open-minded or tolerant or just quiet about the choices their children were making?

I’d spent my whole life chasing my father’s affection and approval, accepting his hurtful words, letting him get away with it.

I’d been taught to placate assholes.

I knew from experience that sometimes when the wake-up call is big enough, you do, in fact, wake up.
