Out on a Limb
Quotes from the Book
…talking always feels like defending and I’m tired of asking for permission to exist.
Do you dwell on everyone’s junk when you meet them? Like, all you do all day long is think about dicks and janes? Is that your thing, Bailey? You can’t stop thinking about what’s in everyone’s pants?
They will bloom when they're ready.
We love you. I love you. Be well.
Trust the process of life, Mother.
I can smell her. Vanilla and honey. I could tilt my head and brush her chest with my mouth. Please tell me this is okay, because I want to. Tell me I'm normal and this is something that can happen and you'll still be my dad.

Dr. Burns high-fives the sky. Oh my god.
