Listen, my body is attracted to your body but when you speak it makes my brain angry.
I initially thought you were ugly, but then you walked closer to me and I realized you were pretty.
Albums that remind me of my childhood happiness make me incredibly sad now.
I sort of refuse to be an outsider, even though I know that I very much look like one to a lot of people, and I refuse to view myself in such terms.

I have heard some stories of stress, but this just takes the cake.
He was so popular you could barely look at him without being blinded by cool.
Besides, who wants to read about success, anyway? Successful serial murderers, maybe.
I’m the one who looks at the infant, smiles nervously, and as my contribution to small talk, robotically announces to the parent, “Your child looks healthy and well cared for.
