And was friendship that different in the end from love? You took the possibility of sex out of it, and it was all about the moment anyway. Being here, right now, in someone’s life. Making room for someone in yours.

When I was still raw and unformed, everyone failed me. No one was permanent. Back home there were people with good parts to them, but on the whole, they couldn't be relied on. By fourteen, my bitter understanding was that I could rely on myself and only myself.

“The Plaza.” by Rebecca Makkai. Bonus points if you can figure out what famous literary work this short story satirizes before the end.

How beautiful, the doomed love! How gorgeous and ambient, the ways we abandon each other! The lovely wars we die in, the poetry of disease!
