From oblivio: “The reason I wanted to stop liking her was because of how much younger than me she is. This is what I would think about then. I would lie in bed and calculate how old she was when I was certain ages and then I’d picture the two of us at those times, standing together. It wasn’t much fun. Here’s the worst of it: On the day I first had sex, she was two years old. Do kids still wear diapers at two years old? For me to pursue someone this young, someone who may not have been potty trained on the day I first had sex, seemed gross and clichéd.”
Michael Barrish is the writer of this snippet of a longer, very lyrical post, and many elegant others. I may be in love.
