Loving you is a full-time job. It's a great job, don't get me wrong. It's the best job in the universe. But it's not easy.

Astley comes to my side. 'Are you well?' 'No,' I tell him, voice hoarse. 'I am not well. I am broken inside. I am broken almost all-the-way deep, and I don't know...I don't know if I can ever be unbroken, let alone well again'

That's what people who love you do: they hold you and lie. They tell you that you're worthy, that everything will be all right, and they do that even when you both know without a doubt that this is not true, that is it nowhere near the truth.

I am not 'most' and I am not 'people'.

Emotions are real, just not the reasons behind them.
