1 " Don't aim to fix people. Fixing seems so permanent, so absolute. Like there's no room for error. Aim to make things better. "

3 " If you want to kiss me, kiss me because you like me. Not because you think it will make you happy. You can't just kiss away all the bad feelings I have. You can't kiss me and make me better. "
4 " I'm a planner. Plans can change, I'm cool with that, but not having a plan at all? It terrifies me. "

10 " Don’t aim to fix people. Fixing seems so permanent, so absolute. Like there’s no room for error. Aim to make things better. "
11 " Seriously. No more apologies about this. I love you.”“And I love you.”“And that’s all,” I say. “That’s all that matters. "
12 " If you want to kiss me, kiss me because you like me. Not because you think it’ll make me happy. "
13 " That's what makes our relationship so different from any other I've had. That's what makes it so special. I'm learning not fixing. For once, I'm listening - or at least I'm trying to. "
14 " I don’t have a favorite, but I literally couldn’t go to the gym for practice without my K-pop playlist. "
15 " And we enter a new era. "
16 " Or maybe I’m just being dramatic. "
