I eased back on my elbows, tilting my head back to look up at the sky, which was pinkish, streaked with red. This was the time we knew best, that stretch of day going from dusk to dark. It seemed like we were always waiting for nighttime here. I could feel the trampoline easing up and down, moved by our own breathing, bringing us in small increments up and back from the sky as the colors faded, slowly, and the stars began to show themselves.

He was not my boyfriend. On t...

He was not my boyfriend. On the other hand, he wasn't just a friend either. Instead, our relationship was elastic, stretching between those two extremes depending on who else was around, how much either of us had to drink, and other varying factors. This was exactly what I wanted, as commitments had never really been my thing. And it wasn't like it was hard, either. The only trick was never giving more than you were willing to lose.

I just stood there, looking at her. My head was spinning, my mouth dry, and all I could think about was that I wanted to go someplace safe, someplace I could be alone and okay, and that this was impossible. My old life had changed and my new one was still in progress, altering by the second. There was nothing, nothing to depend on. And why was I surprised?

Sepp Blatter

So maybe it wasn't the fairy ...

So maybe it wasn't the fairy tale. But those stories weren't real anyway. Mine were.

Sepp Blatter

The basic fact is that no, th...

The basic fact is that no, this isn't ideal. Very few things are. Sometimes, you have to manufacture your own history. Give fate a push,so to speak.

Sepp Blatter

As if at the age of eighteen ...

As if at the age of eighteen life already sucked beyond any hope of improvement.

Sepp Blatter

I wanted to tell him so. Find...

I wanted to tell him so. Find the right words, string them together in the ideal way, knowing that here they would have the best chance of sounding perfect.

Sepp Blatter

During this time we've been apart, it's you I've thought of when I'm at my weakest, and you who have pulled me through.

Sepp Blatter

So I left him there alone to ...

So I left him there alone to watch history repeat the same events retold again and again on his own.

Sepp Blatter

As if he was beating me to th...

As if he was beating me to the punch, his words living forever, while I was left speechless, no rebuttal, no words left to say.

Sepp Blatter

It didn't make you noble to step away from something that wasn't working, even if you thought you were the reason for the malfunction. Especially then. It just made you a quitter. Because if you were the problem, chances were you could also be the solution. The only way to find out was to take another shot.

but accepting help doesn?t have to mean giving up control.

Sepp Blatter

I'd chosen instead to just change my route, go miles out of the way, as if avoiding it would make it go away once and for all.

Sepp Blatter

Clearly, sharing something could take you a long way, or at least to a different place than you'd planned. Like a friendship or a family, or even jsut alone on a curb on a Saturday, trying to get your bearings as best you can.

Sepp Blatter

He's very nice. He's something I replied. She considered this zipping her purse shut. Then she said Well everyone is. Everyone is Something. For some reason that stuck with me simple and yet not every since she'd said it. It was like a puzzle as well two vague words with one clear one between them.

Sepp Blatter

That was the thing. You just ...

That was the thing. You just never knew. Forever was so many different things. It was always changing, it was what everything was really all about.

Sepp Blatter

When I pictured myself, it wa...

When I pictured myself, it was always like just an outline in a colouring book, with the inside not yet completed.

Sepp Blatter

I bet you can't eat ten bananas!" "I bet you're right.

Sepp Blatter

Looking at the pond, all I co...

Looking at the pond, all I could think was that it is an incredivle thing, how a whole world can rise from what seems like nothing at all.

Sepp Blatter

I'd seen another shade of him...

I'd seen another shade of him, and if it had been light where we were now, he'd have seen the same of me. So I was grateful, as I had been so often in my life, for the dark.
