Kindness Quote by C.M. Seabrook
““It isn’t just sex. It will be for me. But, for me, all my emotions have been wrapped up in him, or, at least, the pre-teen memory of him, for so long, it’s hard to separate the two. I know how pitiful it is, wanting someone who doesn’t want you, who doesn’t even remember your existence. But those memories – the small kindness he showed me before my whole world flipped on its axis.””
