confession #8

i should have stood up, both arms waving, and shouted out across libraries, "Hey you! Love me back."

{Maxine Hong Kingston, "No Name Woman."}

i came across this tonight while doing my homework, and i couldn't help but think, this is the one regret i am most afraid of having.

i think what i love most about that outburst is that it's shouted across a library. it means that guys worth professing our love to hang out in libraries and read.

It's like you read my mind with this one! Without the word libraries I wouldn't love this nearly as much.
