Built to Fall

by Julia Wolf

“I’m not ashamed at all. I don’t deny being insecure, though.” “Well, who isn’t?” She windmilled her arms in the water, splashing us both. “But I refuse to let my brain hold me back from what I want to do. So, I just chuck off my clothes and hope for the best.”

“A harder heart will serve you well.” “That remains to be seen. I don’t want to become so hard I can’t feel anymore.”

“Nothing is forever Even if it feels like dying Lift your broken wings And start flying”

“Being hurt by the man who’s supposed to love you doesn’t mean you’re not a strong woman. It means the man is weak.”

Dominic had been right about one thing: I did deserve the moon and the stars and the entire fucking universe, and I’d work my ass off to get them.

Love me out loud, so I never question it. No lukewarm. No half measures. I’ll do the same back.”
