I spent hours describing it, but I couldnt remember the title for my life.
When I was just about ready to give up I remembered the title.
I was also so sad that I didnt have the book to show her in person.
About three weeks later, she handed me a wrapped gift.
When I opened it, it was ‘Glim, The Glorious.'"

“I woke up one morning with her hand on my chest and head on my shoulder.
She said she was having a hard time mentally and that I was her comfort.
Honestly, I just felt warm waking up that way.

“I’m not good with events where many people attend.
It drains my social battery faster than you could count to 10.
Even though we are not together anymore, this is still the nicest thing someone ever did for me.
Completely unprompted because I really wanted to see it through for him and didn’t even complain.”

“I remember once being on my last day of work before going on leave.
It was a Friday, and some stuff went down, so I had to finish late.
It bothered me because, in my mind, I imagined myself clocking out at 5 p.m. and celebrating.
I was pretty burned out at that stage, too.
It was just the best.”
