The line between true self and feigned self is blurred on all sides. Which I think is a rather handy metaphor for falling in love.
Gayle Forman
Image
Suddenly, it's all too much. Bryn and the bump watch. Vanessa with my high school yearbook. The idea that nothing's sacred. Everything's fodder. That my life belongs to anyone but me.
