One of Those Hideous Books Where the Mother Dies Quotes

“I know this sounds incredibly lame,
but I don't want losing my virginity
to feel like I'm losing something.
I want it to feel like I'm finding something.
I want sex to be amazing.
I want it to be life-alteringly wonderful.
And I want it to happen with someone I love.”

floating in the air
that can only be seen
when a shaft of light hits it.”

to have one of those lives
that I wouldn’t even want
to read about.”
