I met Benny when I was 21. Scratch that. I met him a year before that... but at the time, neither of us were at a place in our lives where we recognized a kindred soul.

If someone asks me if going from two to three is as hard as going from one to two, I won’t quite no how to answer. For one, I’m very good at self-denial.
