“Love is just another word for sex.”

“I think if love is real, and headed toward the altar, the sex part-within reason-can wait.”

“This time when we kiss, I feel it in the pit of my stomach, I feel it in my heart. And I realize love isn't about sex. It's about connection.”

“School used to be an escape. Now it's just another place with too much pressure, too much confrontation, & so not enough joy.”

“Would I ever find forever love? Do I really want to, when forever was a word without meaning?”

“You can’t walk away from someone you love, leave them drowning in your desertion. If love has no more meaning than that, you can keep it. I don’t want it now or ever again. Don’t want to hear the word or wear its scars.”

“It was the exact oppositefor me. At first all Iwanted was sex with her,but soon I wanted more.More sex, yes, in unusualplaces, and all different kinds.But that wasn’t all. I wantedher to fill the empty spacesleft by a father who neveronce praised me, ‘friends’ whoused me, an ice princess momwho raised me with glass kisses.”
