Kindle Notes & Highlights
When my mental health was struggling, I had a strict self-care regime. The second I started to notice the glitchy, staticky feeling creeping in, I made a concerted effort to exercise and get enough sleep. I cut out alcohol, processed sugar, and carbs, tried to eat more whole foods. Journaled. It all helped. And right now I needed all the help I could get.
I cleared my throat. “This is my girlfriend,” I managed. “I know!” Amy said, a little too brightly. “They told us you had one. We couldn’t believe it.” I don’t think she meant it to come out like that, but it did. I felt Briana tense next to me. “I know what you mean,” Briana said curtly. “When Jacob told me what this party was for, I couldn’t believe that either.”
There’s a special peace in sleeping next to someone you love. When you slip into the dark holding them and wake up and they’re still there and you know that everything that matters is just opening your eyes away.
