chubby lost positive remember unless
I remember when I was a kid, I could never find anything positive about chubby girls. If a girl was pudgy in books, she wasn't okay. She couldn't be happy or make friends unless she lost weight.
aware broader since stories
Since becoming aware of the need to be inclusive, I've tried to make my stories broader and more representative of our world.
deuces roles growing
Perhaps that was the point; life, if you did it right, meant learning and changing. If you didn't, you died- or stopped growing - which amounted to more or less the same thing. So I would slide in and out of different roles until I discovered the one that fit me best. -Deuce, (183)
caring too-much saws
Caring too much could be dangerous; I saw that now. But the alternative was no better.
weak made terrible
Love sounded terrible if it made you so weak, you couldn't survive with out it.
partners fear-nothing
With my partner beside me, I fear nothing, not even death.
insane polite decided
With a polite smile, I decided she was insane.
hurt distance people
Yet sometimes being a friend meant letting people do things that hurt, like putting distance between you, just because it made them happy.
people easy rest-easy
Maybe I was just one of those people who couldn't rest easy unless things went catastrophically wrong.
missing-someone missing beside-you
How can you miss someone who’s right beside you?
sight may doe
While sight may deceive you, touch rarely does.
bigger-and-better chains bigger
We’re bound by chains of love, but they don’t weigh us down. Instead, they allow us to be bigger and better than we are.
asking-questions sick answers
I’m sick of asking questions everyone else already knows the answers to.
wings way limits
Now I know there are ways to belong to someone that don’t take anything away. A relationship shouldn’t impose limits—and if it does, then it’s wrong. A lover should help you exceed your potential, not clip your wings.
