“When  you’re young, you think everything you do is disposable. You move from  now to now, crumpling time up in your hands, tossing it away. You’re  your own speeding car. You think you can get rid of things, and people  too - leave them behind. You don’t yet know about the habit they have,  of coming back.” 
—Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin

Love gets so sexualized in our world. We start to feel like there is no love outside of romantic love. There are lots of wonderful love stories that have nothing to do with sex or romance, and I guess I wanted to write one of those.
