sleep feelings facts
And as we drift into sleep, I feel something I’ve never felt before. A closeness that isn’t merely physical. A connection that defies the fact that we’ve only just met. A sensation that can only come from the most euphoric of feelings: belonging.
feels
It feels like we’ve stepped outside of time. Even though there is no such place.
rooms enough decided
By the time I got there, you’d already decided. And I quickly decided to let you decide. You were already seeing the rooms as ours, and that was enough for me.
giving want too-late
I never know what you really want, if I can give it to you, or if I’m already too late.
people ends seeing
If other people see you differently, you’ll end up seeing them differently, too.
simple facts
After a while, you have to be at peace with the fact that you simple are
promise littles chance
Little less than a promise, and a little more than a chance.
people dresses trust-others
I’ve found that people tend to trust other people who dress like them.
thinking aquariums car
I am like the fish in the aquarium, thinking in a different language, adapting to a life that’s not my natural habitat. I am the people in the other cars, each with his or her own story, but passing too quickly to be noticed or understood.
believe home parent
exemplar, n. It's always something we have to negotiate- the face that my parents are happy, and yours have never been. I have something to live up to, and if I fail, I still have a family to welcome me home. You have a storyline to rewrite, and a lack of faith that it can ever be done. You love my parents, I know. But you never get too close. You never truly believe there aren't bad secrets underneath.
confusing would-be complicated
Belonging. Togetherness. These words are as complicated and confusing as the word love. It’s probably all the same thing. Or it would be if we let it be. I can only guess from observation.
one-day way remember
Some days are like this. And the only way to get through them is to remember that they are only one day, and that every day ends.
love-is desire-love gender
In my experience, desire is desire, love is love. I have never fallen in love with a gender. I have fallen for individuals.
