Favorite highlight:
“As a partner, I don’t have as much to offer her as she does me. I never have, and I likely never will. Despite the fact that I’m clean now, I’ll always be an addict, a former sex worker with a f***-up digital footprint, and most of all, a man with a track record of disappointing those closest to him. I don’t want that life for Daisy, but if she chooses me, then I’ll work to become at least a fraction of the person she deserves.”
