I don't know what this is, but enjoy it anyway.

Virgil: There was a time when I would sit and eat an entire tub of sorbet and my mum would lightly scold me for it, now it melts too fast and I can't even get halfway through before I have to put it back in the freezer.

Virgil: There was a time when I could eat an entire ice-lolly and not get brain freeze, now, I can barely have anything really cold for more than ten minutes and I get it.

Virgil: There was a time when I could go to sleep and not have to worry about the distance between me and the person I loved or if they would be okay. Now, they're pretty much the only thing on my mind, and I can't bring myself to care.

Virgil: There was a time when I thought I was wrong for not having crushes, or for feeling grossed out by the idea of sex. Now I know it's not wrong, and I'm not abnormal. This is who I am and it's okay.

Virgil: There was a time when I was scared of being ridiculed for being myself and that I couldn't be me. Now, I know I am more than enough, and if I need a mental health break or to cry in front of other people, then it's okay. I'm allowed to be human.

Virgil: There was a time when I feared love, and now, I couldn't ask for anything more welcoming or homely.

Patton: I'm glad you're able to be yourself.

Virgil: You know why I can be myself?

Patton: Why?

Virgil: Because I have you.

Patton: I love you, V.

Virgil: I love you too.
