Deepening our relationship, though, meant I had a greater chance of being rejected by him if I let him down in any way. I couldn't admit this outright, but I couldn't conceal my anxiety, either. I'm not good at that. This is why I write. It's my way of controlling my world and my emotions. I focus on sentences. For several hours a day, nothing else matters. I live inside language. And while I'm often frustrated by writing's difficulty, I'm also at peace.
