i never write on here anymore, which is a fact of life that i don’t like, because writing through one’s feelings, (in my belief), is the most successful method of stress relief. right now i’m reading “extremely loud and incredibly close”, which is already one of my favorite books. according to my kindle, i’m 17% of the way through and foer’s words have already given me new perspectives. my favorite line so far is, 

“Being with him made my brain quiet. I didn’t have to invent a thing.” 

because it explains why i love being with Dylan in a coherent way that, without this book, i would not have even understood myself. this sentence gave led me to a realization: i think the reason he and i work so well together is that he is more than my previous, imagined version of the perfect boy. i’ve probably beaten this horse to death and back by now, but i’m going to repeat myself: i am the luckiest girl in the world to be able to love someone as much as i love him.
