01UndatedI love you, I thought. But I didn’t say it. It was not that I feared she would laugh in my face. She was far too kind for that. My fear was a greater one— that she won’t say it back.Alex Flinn / quote ↗

Being ugly is a kind of prisoner.Alex Flinn / quote ↗
03UndatedIt's easier to fake it. When you fake it for sixteen years, it becomes part of you, something you don't think about.Alex Flinn / quote ↗

17UndatedThe word felt good, liberating. So, I repeat it. "Fuck." Then, again. And again. Because it made me someone else, someone normal and happy, someone who used words like that, like St. John.
