Want to Read $ 8.71"I feel like I'm making all the mistakes I would have made if I'd been dating people since I was thirteen. Even if you're really just playing at being in a relationship, you're still feeling your way through it at least. You're finding out what it means to be with someone, to care about them, what it means to have someone else in your life like that. I feel like the straight kids all get a roadmap and a head start, and the queer kids get given a faulty compass and a dead leg so they have to limp their way to 'destination relationship' while blindfolded."-Simon James Green, You’re the One That I Want
