“I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stunned by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, ‘Hi.’ They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word.”
— Augusten Burroughs
One of my all-time favorite quotes.
It pissed me off that she was like, I won’t talk to you about sex until you’re older, at least 21. And that’s stupid, it’s wrong. I’ve had sex before, I’m legally allowed to have sex. It’s not like it’s nothing I’ve ever experienced before. Waiting until I’m 21 will do nothing except increase the number of sexual partners I will have. I’d think about that, about whatever thing happened to you and not even try and prevent it from happening to someone else. I think I’m damn old enough to understand.
