I sometimes think the stronger you feel about someone, the harder it is to picture their face when you are away from them.
sorry im-sorry
I’m sorry you asked me out, otherwise maybe I could have liked you.
self lame might
So far, she’d been her usual lame self: solitary and routine-loving, carefully avoiding any path that might lead to spontaneous human interaction. Lena Kaligaris
I like that you let yourself be surprised
people age shy
Shy” was the sympathetic interpretation she got from older people. “Snotty” was the interpretation she got from people her own age.
relief sometimes invisible
Sometimes it is a relief to be invisible
mother annoyed said
She loved her mother and depended on her mother, and yet every single word her mother said annoyed her.
girl our-actions obsessed
What can I say? I'm obsessed. And as we all know obsessed girls can't be held responsible for our actions.

All the things she planned to feel, the way she planned to look and seem, the appropriate things she planned to say. None of them came to pass.

The weather turned. Her skin seemed to grow a million extra pores, and all of them opened to take in the warmth and tenderness of the air. The sun on her face made her want to cry. Into all those millions of open pores came the sunshine, and other feelings as well. In and out. She was porous.
feelings way trouble
You could feel things or you could find a way to shut down. But once you were feeling things, you couldn’t decide exactly what to feel. That was the trouble with letting them in at all. They made a mess of the place.
