E. Lockhart
Sex Ed - when I finally got to take it - was all about biology and birth control and nothing about anything that actually goes on between people.
E. Lockhart
My problem is I can think whatever I think—girl power, solidarity, Gloria Steinem rah rah rah — but I still feel the way I feel. Which is jealous. And pissy about little things.
E. Lockhart
Love is when you give someone else the power to destroy you, and you trust them not to do it.
