“Such a strange thing, to hold a six-year-old's hand. Especially a six-year-old you've only just met. A toddler will grab hold of your finger, and someone your own age will clasp on to your whole hand, but with six-year-olds it's something in between, this acknowledgment that they can't be the one to take hold, so you have to do all the holding, folding your hand around theirs, feeling so much bigger and responsible.” YearsWholeFeelingsHandsAgeStrangeMetsSixBiggerResponsibleFingersStrange ThingsOld YouToddlerAcknowledgmentSix Year OldsFolding Author:David Levithan

“We're in this strange age where we can't say 'I love you,' at least not sincerely. It's something where, if you simplify it, the whole point of trying to capture it would sort of make it dead.
