“Feeling like I am now lighting up the hall. I was used to standing in the shadow of a damaged heart.”

“I was used to feeling like I was never gonna see myself at the finish line.Hanging on to parts of me, hanging on at all. I was used to seeing no future in my sight line.”

“I live my life in a way that I feel completely comfortable with. I don't struggle with who I am, who I date, who I love, what I say or what I stand for, not just sexuality but everything.”

“I can't believe I've let you in, and now here I am telling you that I'm suffocating in here.”

“I miss you now, I guess like I should have missed you then.”

“In the back of your car I feel like I have traveled nowhere.”

“I feel like a fool, so I'm going to stop troubling you.”
