1 " This is one of the worst parts. When someone is asking, when you’ve made yourself vulnerable to them, opened yourself up for judgment, and you then have to wait if they’ll ‘get it’ or if they’ll dismiss it because when they dismiss your truth, they dismiss you. "
― Tijan , The Not-Outcast
2 " A growl came from me. “Fuck yeah. "
3 " You’re so handsome. You’re like the Beauty to my yeast infection. "
4 " For anyone who struggles with something that is invisible to the eye, difficult to explain, and is outside the box for normal comprehension. "
5 " Hell yeah, we’re gonna hang. "
6 " The guy was standing by my girl. She’d learn. So would he. Everyone in the room would learn. I was about to claim her in a big fucking way. "
7 " Plausible deniability. "
8 " Four women were twerking in my kitchen when I walked inside. "
9 " Never took you for a coward.”Oh. Oh no. I swung around. “Don’t even go there.” My head was up, eyes wide, and I was breathing in fire.“Do not even go there, to that place where you think you can goad me for what? Running away? I live with this. You just got a visitor’s pass, but trust me, you don’t want a permanent residency. You train for your job but imagine if that same amount of work was what you needed every hour of every day just to keep breathing. Don’t call me a coward, dude. "
10 " Whatever struggles a person has, going forward, what is imperative is that they have love and support. Anyone can get through anything, or it can be less frightening, less suffering, if they have a hand in theirs. "
